Problem - Day in the Life.

An asymmetric split with a fixed persona panel on the left and a vertical clock-time friction timeline on the right, where each of the four friction points carries a five-cell severity meter and a full-width callout at the bottom totals the daily cost.

Overview

Best for: Problem framing that follows one practitioner through a day, role-level workflow friction diagnosis, and anchoring the cost of the status quo.

Use: When the problem should be attached to a person rather than a statistic, following who gets stuck, when, and on what, hour by hour, until the daily cost adds up.

Avoid: Use problem-pain-grid to list pain points without a person, problem-cost-of-inaction for aggregate cost alone, and diagram-customer-journey-map when the axis is the purchase journey.
