  "The first draft was pushed 7 min 37 s after the commit that records the words (94f2ed9a, 09:57:53). The synthetic visitors read the old front page first (run 1), then the draft (run 2, 10:03:08); 56 seconds after run 2 the writer had taken three of its findings.",
  "It is the first workflow in the record with a reader in the loop before a person sees the page: writer, designer and invented readers took six turns between 09:57:53 and 10:07:18. The readers are invented and the brief says so: \"it is not user research\".",
