CARS+GATE=GREAT (a)
NAIL+BEAM=MAMBA (b)

By solving the above alphametics one gets two distinct sets of letter-to-digit coding, code (a) for the 1st equation and code (b) for the second.

The bolded sequence of digits below can be decoded into meaningful text, by choosing the correct match to each of the digits , either by code (a) or code(b).
Once convinced that your choices were right and the text makes sense, please answer, how does your solution relate to puzzle’s title.

srce=perms(['1' '2' '3' '4' '5' '6' '7' '8' '9' '0']);
for i=1:length(srce)

    cars=str2num(nos(1:4)); gate=str2num([nos(5) nos(2) nos(6:7)]); 
        great=str2num([nos(5) nos(3) nos(7) nos(2) nos(6)]);
    if cars+gate==great
         disp (["cars" "gate" "great"])
        disp ([cars gate great])
        disp (nos)
    end
    
    nail=str2num(nos(1:4)); beam=str2num([nos(5:6) nos(2) nos(7)]); 
        mamba=str2num([nos(7) nos(2) nos(7) nos(5) nos(2)]);
    if nail+beam==mamba
        disp (["nail" "beam" "mamba"])
        disp ([nail beam mamba])
        disp(nos)
    end
end    

finds (repetitions and leading zeros deleted):


    "cars"    "gate"    "great"
        9405        1438       10843
9405138762
 
    "nail"    "beam"    "mamba"
        5342        7831       13173

Then, manually using these figures:
