    {
        "persona": "Singapore Citizen first-time buyer",
        "fit_color": "amber",
        "reason": "You pay 0% ABSD. RCR may stretch TDSR for median-income first-timers."
    },
    {
        "persona": "SC upgrader (sell HDB / decouple)",
        "fit_color": "green",
        "reason": "The 6-month ABSD remission window applies if this is your second residential property. Coordinate the existing-property sale carefully."
    },
    {
        "persona": "SC investor (second SC property)",
        "fit_color": "amber",
        "reason": "At 20% ABSD plus 4% all-in mortgage rate, leveraged yield maths is hostile. OCR yields are slightly better but still negative-carry typical."
    },
    {
        "persona": "Permanent Resident",
        "fit_color": "amber",
        "reason": "PR pays 5% ABSD on first property. OCR/RCR is more accessible for PR upgraders."
    },
    {
        "persona": "Foreign buyer (non-FTA national)",
        "fit_color": "red",
        "reason": "At 60% ABSD, the entry-cost premium versus an SC buyer is approximately $600K+ on a S$1.0M unit. Long-horizon owner-occupier motivation only."
    },
    {
        "persona": "FTA national (US / Swiss / Liechtenstein / Norway / Iceland)",
        "fit_color": "green",
        "reason": "You qualify for SC-equivalent ABSD (0% / 20% / 30% by property number). Verify treaty eligibility with conveyancing lawyer before OTP."
