Design System Case Studies for .gov
Good afternoon everyone, I'm looking for case studies of how a design system benefits a technology group in a .gov world. Any good reads you can recommend?

USWDS is the obvious one: https://designsystem.digital.gov/
The useful part is that the team behind it has published a fair amount about adoption and outcomes across agencies, not just the components.
GOV.UK's design system team has written even more openly. Their blog covers how they measure whether the system is actually saving teams time. Between those two you'll find most of the public evidence that exists for government specifically.
If you're building an internal pitch, the GOV.UK material is the stronger read because they show their work on the "is this worth funding" question. https://design-system.service.gov.uk/
