**Invented people walking the real site. This is not user research. Never quote them as real readers.**

Dinis Cruz asked for this on 11 November, around 09:50 UTC (BRIEF.md, last section). Four personas, each written first, walk storm-charles.promptugal.news in a real browser with Do Not Track on. Each walk reports what the persona understood, what they looked for and where they got lost, with measurements.
