// UGC-style characteristics:
ugcStyle: {
  camera: "Phone, not professional camera",
  setting: "Real environment (bedroom, kitchen, outdoors)",
  delivery: "Natural speech, not scripted-sounding",
  branding: "Minimal — feels like a recommendation from a friend",
  format: "Vertical (9:16) for Stories/Reels",
}

// Who creates it:
// Real customers (authentic but hard to scale)
// UGC creators (scalable, can test multiple angles)
// Staff with authentic delivery (often underutilized)
