3. Personas

4. John (Messy)

▪ Messy, lazy, unorganized
▪ “I will get around to the chores eventually”
▪ Alex does them first

6. As John,
I want to know the minimal expectation
so that I can avoid fights with Alex.

7. As Alex,
I want a system that incentivizes John to do
more, without me pestering,
so that I avoid fights with John.
