  "supportingContext": "The methodology emphasizes feeding AI systems with decision criteria rather than demographic information to generate actionable customer intelligence. Practitioners use this approach to create stakeholder maps that directly inform three critical business decisions: feature prioritization, pricing strategy, and objection handling. The process transforms traditional persona creation from a three-hour documentation exercise into a ten-minute strategic tool that teams actively use during sales calls and product development. Unlike conventional personas focused on lifestyle attributes, this AI-driven method centers on identifying and quantifying the specific expensive problems customers need solved.",
