As a market strategy expert, help me define the Ideal Customer Persona (ICP) for my project [PROJECT_NAME] which offers [SHORT_OFFER_DESCRIPTION]. My initial target market is [COUNTRY_OR_REGION]. Start by identifying demographic characteristics (age, gender, income, occupation), then psychographics (values, interests, behaviors). Next, detail their main pains related to [SPECIFIC_PROBLEM] and how my offer solves them. Describe their typical buying journey (awareness, evaluation, decision). Finally, list qualification criteria for a prospect to be considered a 'good fit' (e.g., budget, authority, urgent need). Provide the result as a structured persona sheet.
