Public case studies (none of these brands used the Social Burning framework; they show the same mechanism): Stanley cup (https://socialburning.com/examples/stanley-cup), Little Moons (https://socialburning.com/examples/little-moons), Cal AI (https://socialburning.com/examples/cal-ai), CeraVe (https://socialburning.com/examples/cerave), Medicube (https://socialburning.com/examples/medicube), The Pink Stuff (https://socialburning.com/examples/the-pink-stuff). Contrast cases: e.l.f. (paid challenge came first) and Lemon8 (paid creators did not disclose payment).

What every case has in common: a visual, repeatable demo; many different voices posting their own take; paid only behind what already worked; and a ceiling (copycats, sellouts, saturation), which a monthly testing loop is built to get past.

Illustrative, not client data: a consumer AI study app runs the Social Burning framework on TikTok.

- **Month one:** five niche accounts, each clearly linked to the app, post one original video a day. Five accounts over thirty days is 150 organic creative tests with zero media spend.
- **End of month one:** all 150 videos are scored on reach, watch time, completion, profile taps, link clicks and attributed installs. A small group of clear winners is ranked at the top.
- **Month two:** winners run as Spark Ads from the original posts with likes and comments attached. Spend scales where cost per install holds and is cut where it doesn't.
- **Month three:** paid stops paying to discover creative; every ad dollar goes to a video real viewers already chose.

Public proof: the framework comes from the same creative-testing discipline Ar.Bhavesh Panse used to take ZuAI from 10K to 2M users at $0.02 CAC. Client accounts and numbers are under NDA; founders can talk through what worked on a free, no-pitch growth breakdown call: https://socialburning.com/call
