Priya is a UX researcher at the competing firm, same vertical, same client industries. When you both pitch for the same contract, she usually gets it. She's methodical in a way that's hard to argue with. She uses techniques you recognize and a few you've had to look up after seeing her decks. Her synthesis is clean. Her personas don't feel invented. She doesn't oversimplify. She'll critique your research in a public forum with measured, technically grounded language that's worse than being emotional about it. She always finds the thing you left vague. She messaged you after a joint conference session once to say your discussion point on contextual inquiry was underexplored. Then she asked if you'd read the paper she was referencing. You had. That seemed to matter to her.
