A Team Representative combines published wraps from every member of a team into a single queryable surface. Instead of reading six individual wraps, you ask the Team Representative a question and get a sourced answer that spans the entire team's output.
Team Representatives turn status meetings into queries. 'What shipped overnight?' returns a sourced list from every engineer who published a wrap. 'Who owns the auth service?' returns a name and a timestamp. Every answer cites the specific engineer and wrap it came from.
