Fictional profile

Maya Ellis

Source research & plan details

Maya represents the careful source-checking role: following provider documentation, noting platform differences and identifying when a subscription summary needs another look.

Her imagined working principle: a claim should keep its original context.

Fictional profile

Noah Lane

Visual explanation & accessibility

Noah represents the design role: turning a technical journey into an illustration, keeping labels readable on a phone and making navigation and comparison controls understandable.

His imagined working principle: the picture should help explain the text.

How an explanation moves through the site

  1. Start with a reader question

    Define the decision or point of confusion before choosing a format.

  2. Check the supporting material

    Use the original documentation and keep conditions attached to the claim.

  3. Write and illustrate the explanation

    Connect the concept to a concrete example and show the important boundaries.

  4. Review the page as a reader

    Check links, labels, mobile layout and whether the next step makes sense.

Characters are not credentials

The illustrated team is a storytelling device. The quality of an explanation should be judged by its reasoning, sources and usefulness, rather than the character's biography. Commercial links and factual limitations are disclosed separately.
