16 synonyms, and when to use each

"Transformed" makes a big promise — that the whole thing is different now — and the reader will look for proof on that scale. When you have it, keep the word. When you don't, a synonym sized to the change is more believable: restructured, turned around, digitized, repositioned.

Leave these in the thesaurus

Skip "revolutionized", which claims more than one bullet can prove, and "metamorphosed", which belongs in a biology textbook.

The one thing to remember

Put the starting point in the bullet as well as the end. A turnaround only impresses when the reader knows how bad it was: last in the region, 31-day claim settlements, a 21-day wait for a permit.
