Aim for 15-25 scenarios in v1; resist trying to cover every edge case. 3. **Define brand voice and policy rules.** Set the voice (register, warmth, formality, emoji usage) and the non-negotiable guardrails: what agents can promise on refunds, reships, and timelines without approval, and what must escalate. Write these as plain rules so every script inherits the same boundaries. See `references/tone-and-policy-guide.md`. 4. **Draft scripts per scenario, two variants each.** For each scenario write variant A (standard) and variant B (high-empathy / repeat or upset customer). Lead with acknowledgement, give the answer or action, and end with a concrete next step. Keep chat variants short; keep email variants complete. Use `references/scenario-library.md` for seeds.
