Fictional example. No customer data.
A farewell Ripple for Mei.
Mei expected a short video call. Her teammates had been collecting the moments when she made a distributed group feel like one team.

Care in the handover
The team's current onboarding notes still follow the structure Mei made during a rushed launch.
Three invented contributions
"Because of Mei, I stopped joining calls at midnight to prove I cared. She moved the decision into writing and made the team work around people, not the other way round."
"Your Friday note was the first time I felt I had the same picture as the office team."
"You asked whether the quiet reply meant agreement or exhaustion. Nobody had asked that before."
