Create a method for Archetypes on the 18F Methods site

[bpdesigns]

A description of the work

18F Methods needs an Archetypes card. Archetypes are a more reliable way to define and segmenting audiences for research than Personas which can create a false sense of understanding about the people who use a service.

@adunkman The design team is aligned on removing personas and replacing them with Archetypes in the 18F Methods site.

@bpdesigns Hey there, I adjusted the AC to align with the tasks outlined (finalize content rather than publish new card) and will create a follow-on ticket for the implementation.

@qmanderson1 please update the time required and tag @bpdesigns once you have a better of how long it might take

Archetypes Method Card is ready for review. @MelissaBraxton @bpdesigns

I can review :)

@qmanderson1 @bpdesigns - Did a review of this! Looks good, made a few small suggestions. Fun fact, I used that 18F-referenced archetype article years ago when working on a design system! <3

[bpdesigns]

@a-chappelear I am moving this back to prioritized to work on edits to the content. Feel free to self assign to this if you like. @qmanderson1 will be working on other tickets.

[a-chappelear]

I can implement it also!

[bpdesigns]

Thanks!

@bpdesigns - I made some edits to this method (it might be a little long?) But feel free to comment/edit on anything that may still need to be clarified more.

[a-chappelear]

@bpdesigns - made some slight edits based on feedback, ty!

Looks good to me! @a-chappelear feel free to close and pick up the implementation ticket if you like. Implementation could be something for @galefernow to shadow.
