How to Read These Narratives

Each narrative follows the same structure: a brief story of a typical workday for the personas in that category, highlighting key interactions with other categories, the tools and modules they use, and the outputs they produce. The narratives are written from a third-person perspective to keep the focus on workflow rather than individual identity.
