Hey Sam, When I get time I'll definitely follow up with a summary blog post. Right now we're focused on putting the data to good use, and I want to rack up some more successes with that before I report back. These projects take time to roll out and we're only in the initial phases right now; better to wait and talk about it when we've got a lot to say.
In the mean time, would the article you mentioned suffice?
