I was under the impression that persona's based on assumptions were called assumptive personas, and should be treated as such.
I vaguely recall being told about a research company (the name escapes me) who have a system that require field researchers to tag their fieldnotes. These tags get aggregated into categories, and ultimately, personas are generated that consist of a series of hyperlinked statements. The reader can click on any statement and "drill in" to get the field notes. In theory this means you get data-backed personas that are accountable for their claims. Any opinions on this?
