USER STORY
Zoe · Seoul · 23
Saw Wonyoung in a low-rise grey skirt.
Searched. Found Miu Miu. Came for one piece.
Discovered a complete aesthetic logic.
No system recorded this.
The brand didn't know she'd become a devotee.
Observation
CRM knows Zoe's order number.
Not why she bought it.
Not how long she studied the brand before she did.
The loyalty system responded to an identity moment with a discount voucher.
