# NoonFox scenario library

**Created:** 2026-07-25. **What this is:** the master list of user scenarios, value adds and
benefits NoonFox can leverage in marketing — landing pages, App Store copy, ads, social, email,
onboarding screens, and eval fixtures. ~140 scenarios in 15 groups.

**How to use it.** Every entry is written from the **user's lens** (a moment they recognize),
not ours (a feature). Pick a scenario, and the line next to it is already close to ad copy.
Group headers name which product pillar the group leans on, so you can balance a page:

- **FIND** — where a thing is (the core loop)
- **WHEN** — dates on a thing (expiry, warranty, purchase)
- **WHO** — the shared household
- **PROOF** — a documented record of what you own

**Why one capability makes many scenarios.** The same code path becomes a completely different
product in someone's head depending on the **object**, the **moment**, and **who is acting**.
"Expiry on a passport" (a canceled trip) is not "expiry on vitamins" (safety) is not "finding a
passport" (tonight) is not "your spouse finding the passport" (while you're at work). Treat each
as its own scenario. That is where the 140 comes from.

## Claim boundary — read before writing copy

Verified against the app source 2026-07-25 (see `FindIT2/docs/use-cases.md`).

| We can say | We cannot say (yet) |
|---|---|
| NoonFox **flags** items as "expiring soon" (30 days) | NoonFox **reminds / alerts / notifies** you — **there is no notification system** |
| It captures **serial number, brand, size, quantity, expiry** automatically | It **appraises or guarantees** value — the number is an AI **estimate** you can correct |
| It **estimates a dollar value** per item (v1.81.0, 2026-07-25; word it "Est. $1,299") | |
| You add **purchase date** and **warranty date** yourself | The AI fills those in |
| Everyone in the household can find anything anyone snapped | It tracks who *borrowed* something — lending is not modeled |

Scenarios below that depend on a ✗ capability are marked **(needs reminders)** or
**(needs value field)**. Reminders remain roadmap-only. **(needs value field) markers are
RESOLVED as of v1.81.0** — those scenarios are now present-tense claims, worded as estimates.

## Using this in copy

- **Lead with the moment, not the mechanism.** "Cleats, ten minutes before practice" beats
  "AI-powered item recognition."
- **Mix the shapes on any one page.** One daily scenario (essentials), one project (moving or
  storage), one proof (insurance), one household (spouse finds it). Almost every visitor then
  sees themselves once.
- **The daily scenarios sell the habit; the rare ones justify the price.** Insurance and moving
  make the subscription rational. Keys and cleats make it used every week.
- **Keep the claim boundary above.** "Flags it" not "reminds you", until notifications ship.
