Story Splitting

This story is too large for a single sprint. Help me split it into smaller, independently deliverable stories.

ORIGINAL STORY:
[The oversized story with its acceptance criteria]

SPRINT CAPACITY: [How many story points or days available]
TEAM CONTEXT: [Number of developers, any constraints]

Please suggest 2-4 ways to split this story:
1. By workflow step (each step becomes a story)
2. By user role (each role gets their own story)
3. By happy path vs. edge cases (ship the core first)
4. By platform or data type variation

For each split option:
- List the resulting stories
- Note which delivers the most value first
- Identify any that could be deferred to a future sprint
- Flag dependencies between the split stories
