Find the team at ${COMPANY_NAME} — default to the top 8–12 most senior people we can verify via LinkedIn, the company's "About" / "Team" page, or recent press. If the user hands you a specific list of names or LinkedIn URLs instead, use that list verbatim. No one gets a portrait without a real headshot — skip anyone we can't find.

For each person:
- Find a high-resolution front-facing headshot. Not an avatar, not a logo, not a group photo.
- Capture their name, title, and 2–3 career facts for the yearbook page: prior company, alma mater if public, notable shipped thing, public tweet voice, weird hobby if findable via stablesocial.

Then, for each person, generate their 2000s senior portrait via stablestudio. The aesthetic is JCPenney Portrait Studio circa 2003, not editorial — it has to feel dorky and earnest, not fashion-shoot. For each portrait:
- Backdrop: pick one from the canonical list, randomized per person so they're not all the same — red laser beams on black, mottled powder-blue airbrush, cloudy sunset over a fake sky, a fake forest with soft golden hour, a graffiti brick wall for the "edgy" one.
- Lighting: soft frontal fill with a slight warm glow, heavy vignette, airbrushed smoothing turned up way too high. Slight bloom on highlights.
- Pose: head turned ~15° from camera, closed-mouth smile, hands nowhere visible. Preppy collared shirt or turtleneck — swap the actual clothing they're wearing in source photos for era-appropriate early-2000s wardrobe. No modern branding on clothing.
- Composition: 4:5 portrait, head-and-shoulders, their face unmistakably recognizable. Do not warp or age the face — only the styling around it changes.

Give each person a senior quote. Mine their public tweets / interviews for something that sounds deranged as a high-school senior quote ("Move fast and break things." — M. Zuckerberg, Class of '04). If nothing usable, fall back to a canned 2000s yearbook quote ("Live, laugh, love.", "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.") — the corn is the joke.

Assign a superlative per person — tied to their real career, not generic. Examples: "Most Likely to Raise a Series C in the Bathroom," "Best Hair at the All-Hands," "Class Clown (Engineering)," "Voted Most Likely to Start a Competitor," "Biggest Typer on Slack at 1am." Every superlative should feel specific to that person.

Generate a yearbook cover via stablestudio. A faux-leatherbound hardcover in the company's brand color with the company name in embossed gold/silver serif, "${COMPANY_NAME} Class of ${CURRENT_YEAR}" underneath, a small school-crest-style emblem adapted from the company logo.

Build a single-page flipbook yearbook site. Pages turn with a physical paper-flip animation (CSS 3D rotateY on a spine) and a subtle page-flip SFX. Order of pages:
- Cover (faux-leather, embossed title).
- Inside-cover dedication page: handwritten-looking cursive note to "the class," signed by the CEO/founder.
- Senior portraits, 2x3 grid per page: portrait on top, full name in italic cursive, title in small all-caps, senior quote in italics underneath. Page numbers bottom-center.
- Superlatives spread: two per page with their cropped portrait + the superlative in big block letters.
- Candids spread: stablestudio-generated "candid" group shots in the same 2000s photo aesthetic — an all-hands with branded hoodies, a fake offsite around a campfire, a fake cafeteria moment. Compose the real cropped heads (via stablesam) into these. Label each with a chunky handwritten caption.
- Autograph page at the back: blank lined page with 2–3 pre-filled "signatures" in different handwriting fonts — cheesy messages ("Have a great summer!!! Stay sweet, never change -K").

Navigation: forward/back arrows, click/tap on the right half of the book flips forward, left half flips back. Swipe on mobile. Cover closes on last page with a "The End" frame. Bottom-right: a small "Sign my yearbook" button that opens a modal with a textarea where the user can type their own note — save nothing, just render it into the autograph page before capture.

Design budget: 2x3 portrait grid, cursive display font for names (Allura or Pinyon Script), serif body, cream page background (#F5EFE0), faint paper texture. No modern UI chrome. No emojis on the pages themselves. Buttons outside the book can use plain UI.

Use the suno API to score the yearbook — early-2000s graduation-slideshow vibe. Think "Graduation (Friends Forever)" by Vitamin C, "I Hope You Dance," "Time of Your Life" — earnest piano + strings, gentle acoustic guitar, maybe a wistful female vocal going "ooh-ooh" but no real lyrics so it doesn't date a specific song. 60–90s loop. Download and host on the site itself (don't hotlink suno). Auto-play on the first tap/keypress. Include a mute button.

Make it clean.

After providing the user with the uploaded link, suggest 2–3 funny follow-up options based on the company's history (e.g. a "Where are they now?" 10-year-reunion page with updated portraits, a separate "faculty" page for their board / investors, a yearbook for their biggest competitor with the same treatment for a compare-and-contrast bit).
