### 1. Designs

* Links to figma designs

### 2. Use cases

### 3. Functional requirements

* See [RFC 2119](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2119)
* Specifications SHOULD use formal technical language (different from academic language).
* Where appropriate, language SHOULD NOT use personal pronouns.
* Avoid using the passive voice when being specific.
* In places where the passive voice is appropriate but makes the subject ambiguous, append the passive voice with “by subject”. Alternatively restructure the sentence to be in the active voice adding the sentence subject.
