Case Studies

Public engagement, project by project.

Two kinds of study live here. A demonstration walkthrough, which shows how a Shell works from the public side and the host side. And a real project study, published only once the agency has approved it.

Now

Start with the demonstration

Demonstration case study

Walk through a working Shell.

A demonstration project with documents, a public map, a survey, and published results. See the public experience, then the project area where the comments, mapped input, and survey responses are reviewed.

Open the demo

Real project case study

Published with the agency, not before.

A project study is only published once the client has reviewed it and given permission. We do not publish a client name, a quote, or a number without that approval, and we do not present a demonstration as client work.

Method

What a project study covers

  • Project
  • Client or agency
  • Challenge
  • Method
  • Participation
  • Results
  • What We Heard
  • Outcome
  • Screenshots
  • Verified metrics
  • Quotes, with permission

Every figure carries its source, and every quote is published only with recorded permission. If a number cannot be verified, it does not appear.

Tortoise Studio

Ask what a Studio project like this would cost.

Tell us what the project needs — the document, the graphics, the mapping, the engagement, the reporting — and we will confirm the scope and send an itemized fee in writing. There is no checklist of packages to work through, and nothing is charged until a scope and a fee are agreed.
