Where each knowledge pain points in the attribute layer. Each pain is single-track: where a pain has both a personal and a collective voice, it lives as two notes — the customer-language quote inside each carries the speaker. Attributes are the consultant-side diagnostic vocabulary, kept private to the consulting language.
