Common Patterns

What's consistent across all cases:

1. Start with just the secretary — Easy to get going
2. Departments grow through usage — No need to decide everything upfront
3. Every organization is different — Same plugin, different growth paths
4. Just talk to the secretary — No need to be aware of departments
