Build personas from evidence. Research data (interviews, surveys, analytics, support tickets): [RESEARCH_DATA]. Product context: [PRODUCT_CONTEXT]. Number of segments: [NUMBER_OF_SEGMENTS].

Process: cluster participants by goals, behaviors, and contexts (not demographics alone); name the segments; for each, write a persona with a descriptive name, a photo-free description, role or situation, goals, tasks, pain points, behaviors, tools used, motivations, barriers, and representative quotes (verbatim, with source IDs). Include a "confidence" note for each element (strong evidence, partial, assumption) and the number of participants behind it.

Return a one-page persona format, a comparison table across personas, and a list of design implications ("Prioritize speed for X; provide guidance for Y"). Avoid stereotypes, avoid invented details such as hobbies unless evidenced, and mark assumptions clearly. Add a process to retire or update personas when new data arrives. Do not fabricate data.

Include a one-line summary of each persona suitable for a poster, the number of participants behind each, and one design decision that the persona would have changed in a recent project, to test its usefulness.

Barriers to a new tool: time to enter staff (5 of 7).
Confidence: strong for goals and pains; partial for tool preferences (assumption flagged).
