This has been changed to:
  - "Fortunately the internal website she mainly uses for her job has 
well-designed page structures, so that she can work efficiently."

Here you can find this and other changes made to this script:

Feel free to comment if these changes do not address your concerns.

The sub-group discussed this idea but felt it would need to be clear 
both visually and in audio, and would make the script longer and more 
complex. We prefer to keep the script as focused as possible.

This script has been put on hold for now due to conflicting suggestions.
