Portfolio & Case Studies — FAQs
Can you build this without revealing NDA details?
Yes. We replace sensitive names/numbers with ranges or anonymized labels and focus on learnings & outcomes.
Where should I host the full case study?
Any private-friendly link works (GDrive, Notion, your site). We use a 1–4 min read one-pager and link from the card.
Will these help with ATS?
ATS scans your CV, but hiring managers click portfolio links. The cards and titles mirror keywords on your CV/LinkedIn for consistency.
