Stage 3 of 4
The golfer
Who it is for, and when. A retiring club captain and a dad who plays twice a year want different things.
A retiring club captain and a dad who plays twice a year are not the same buying problem, and a shelf of the same twenty-two products under eleven different headings never pretended otherwise. Each page on this stage starts from the person: what they are likely to already own, what they will actually keep, and which one or two pieces the argument genuinely reaches. Where a page names nothing, that is deliberate.

And after that
The stage that follows this one is on the wall: The twenty paintings, what each one actually shows, and which wall it is for.
