Personas
This is the master list of reusable business functions. It is not the persona list for every market. A vertical opts into a persona through an explicit market-persona binding, where it defines the role labels, responsibility hypothesis, job, problems, and expected transaction roles for that market.
Titles support contact matching only. A title does not prove that a person has authority, owns a problem, has a particular motivation, or holds a transaction role in an opportunity.

This catalog defines stable functions only. It does not define which personas
belong in a vertical, the order in which to contact them, or the problems and
outcomes that may apply to them. Those decisions belong to the vertical's
