1. Creative Backbone

The customer-facing story is owner-first:

Keep doing the work customers pay you for. Give the work around the work to governed AI coworkers.

Every visual should show a real owner or key employee in the business, with DPF as a practical work surface. The recognizable DPF UX anchor is the live portal /workspace pattern: a “Living business” identity, a single “What needs you now” attention rail, coworker-prepared actions, and an operational twin or owner cockpit below it.

2. Shared Visual Style

Use realistic, documentary-style business scenes. The AI coworker appears through the DPF interface: a calm side panel, a decision card, a prepared draft, a highlighted exception, or an owner-approval action. The owner stays visually central. Avoid robot mascots, generic AI glow, fantasy dashboards, and abstract stock imagery.

Each narrative card is paired with the claim/proof register in Section 5. That register is part of the card system: it names the safe current-state claim, planned-state claim, live DPF UI anchor, source/proof references, and permission status for every persona, source category, or required spotlight. The MSP spotlight is a professional-services leaf spotlight, not a 22nd source category.

3. Pilot Persona Narratives

Dale - HVAC Owner

Owner moment: Dale has four trucks on the road and is still close enough to the work that he knows which technician is likely to call about a missing capacitor, filter, or control board. The phones are busy, the weather is driving emergency demand, and every warehouse run steals time from the next customer.

Necessary-evil jobs: job triage, urgency sorting, truck stock, customer ETA updates, restock signals, technician readiness, quote follow-up.

DPF coworker help: the field-service coworker keeps the “What needs you now” rail focused on unscheduled urgent jobs, trucks missing parts, customers needing updates, and restock actions. Dale approves the sensitive calls: reschedule a customer, prioritize an emergency, or start a small truck-stock feature request.

Before/after block: Before DPF, Dale finds out a truck is missing a part when the technician is already in the driveway. After DPF, the coworker turns parts-used updates into restock signals and shows which jobs, trucks, and customers need attention before the day slips.

Short-video narrative:
Beat 1: Dale closes a furnace panel while his phone shows two missed office calls.
Beat 2: DPF opens to “Living business: HVAC repair” and “What needs you now.”
Beat 3: Coworker cards show “Emergency no heat: needs dispatch,” “Truck 3 low on ignitors,” and “Customer update drafted for 2:00 PM delay.”
Beat 4: Dale approves the customer update and assigns the emergency job to the nearest technician.
Beat 5: The truck-stock board shows a restock task for the warehouse.
Beat 6: Dale gets back to the job with the line: “DPF keeps the shop moving while you keep homes running.”

Still-image prompt: Realistic documentary photo of a small HVAC shop owner in a service van bay, work jacket, phone and tablet visible, DPF workspace UI on the tablet showing “What needs you now” cards for urgent jobs, truck parts, technician readiness, and customer updates; warm practical lighting, believable small business environment, no robot, no sci-fi glow.

Storyboard frame prompts:

1. HVAC owner beside open van doors checking a DPF tablet before the morning route.
2. Close-up of DPF workspace with urgent job, truck-stock, and customer-update cards.
3. Technician marking a part used from a mobile job screen.
4. Owner approving a customer ETA update in the coworker panel.
5. Calm shop scene with trucks leaving and restock task visible.

UX substitution note: Use the real /workspace “What needs you now” rail. Replace generic demo activity with urgent job triage, truck-stock exceptions, technician load, restock tasks, and customer-delay drafts.

Test emphasis: urgent job intake must capture job type, urgency, property type, technician/dispatch context, and truck-stock/restock signals without leaking platform language.

Linda - Dental Scheduler

Owner moment: Linda is at the front desk before the first patient arrives. She is not only looking at a calendar; she is checking whether the day will hold together: missing forms, bounced reminders, overloaded hygienists, new-patient intake, emergency slots, and follow-up calls.

Necessary-evil jobs: appointment readiness, missing-form chasing, confirmation follow-up, practitioner load, no-show risk, privacy-safe patient communication.

DPF coworker help: the clinic coworker scans tomorrow’s schedule, turns missing forms into ready-to-send reminders, flags failed confirmations, and shows which appointments need human judgment. Linda approves messages and adjusts overloaded blocks before the waiting room backs up.

Before/after block: Before DPF, Linda pieces readiness together from forms, reminder logs, and memory. After DPF, the coworker gives her a clean readiness board: ready visits, missing forms, failed reminders, no-show risk, and overloaded chairs.

Beat 1: Linda unlocks the clinic and sees a full appointment day.
Beat 2: DPF opens to “Living business: Dental practice” with “What needs you now.”

Beat 5: The schedule view shifts from red warnings to ready/needs action.
Beat 6: Close on Linda greeting the first patient: “DPF helps the front desk fix tomorrow’s problems today.”

Test emphasis: patient/appointment fields, readiness states, reminder follow-up, practitioner load, and clinical refusal/privacy boundaries must be verifiable.

Marisol - Retail Merchandiser

Owner moment: Marisol walks into one store while the other location is already selling through a different mix. Online orders are waiting, a delivery arrived late, a return needs a decision, and one shelf looks full in the system but thin in real life.

Necessary-evil jobs: order task triage, low-stock checks, receiving, returns, location transfer decisions, repeat-buyer follow-up, local campaign ideas.

DPF coworker help: the merchandising coworker turns the morning into a short action list: pickup order waiting, SKU low in Location A, incoming receipt needs count confirmation, return needs resale/refund decision, and a campaign draft for the products actually moving.

Before/after block: Before DPF, Marisol checks POS, ecommerce, stock notes, and receiving separately. After DPF, the coworker surfaces the few actions that protect sales today: orders, stock, receiving, returns, and location signals.

Short-video narrative:

Beat 2: DPF opens to “Living business: Specialty retail” with owner attention cards.

DPF coworker help: the coworker watches the calendar, flags gaps, drafts reactivation messages, and prepares offer ideas without taking over final client communication.

UX substitution note: Replace generic attention with dates, holds, capacity, staffing, access needs, and booking/ticket references.

Test emphasis: date/capacity/hold conflict handling, event vocabulary, purchase/inquiry references, weekend scheduling, and no seat-map/payment-rail overclaim.

Rental And Shared Assets

Owner moment: The owner only earns when assets are reserved, used, returned, inspected, and available again. The day goes wrong when damage, late returns, or double-booking stay hidden.

Necessary-evil jobs: reservation readiness, checkout/return, inspection, damage notes, availability, utilization, member fairness for shared assets.

DPF coworker help: the coworker watches the reserve-use-return-inspect loop and turns fleet exceptions into owner actions.

Before/after block: Before DPF, asset availability is only as accurate as the last return note. After DPF, the coworker keeps reservations, returns, inspections, damage, and availability visible.

Short-video narrative: Rental owner opens DPF; coworker shows late return, inspection needed, damage note, high-utilization item, and one reservation conflict.

Still-image prompt: Realistic equipment rental yard or self-storage office with DPF asset board showing reservations, out/returned state, inspection queue, damage note, and utilization prompt.

Storyboard frame prompts: equipment yard, reservation card, return inspection, damage note, owner approving availability update.

UX substitution note: Replace generic cards with asset reservations, return/inspection states, damage, occupancy/utilization, and cooperative fairness where relevant.

Test emphasis: rental CTA, asset-pool vocabulary, reserve/use/return/inspect states, self-storage occupancy, production-equipment rental, and cooperative shared-machinery fairness.
