A large regulatory project involves many internal and external stakeholders. After initial design workshops and brainstorming about likely user types, which technique best helps understand those user types?

Personas are fictional, generalized representations of your ideal or typical users, based on user research and data. They help project teams understand user needs, behaviors, motivations, and goals, which is crucial after initial brainstorming about user types. This technique provides a human-centered perspective for design and development. The Power/Interest Grid and Power/Influence Grid are stakeholder analysis tools used to categorize stakeholders based on their power, interest, or influence, primarily for engagement strategies, not for understanding user types. The Salience Model is another stakeholder analysis tool that classifies stakeholders based on their legitimacy, power, and urgency, also not for defining user types.
