## Description

A diagram depicting an example org hierarchy, capturing a subset of roles in order to clarify business structure, personas, and permissions for a specific use case.
This isn't a typical Landscape diagram, but is similar in that it shows a conceptual plan for how roles are related and model the business domain.
