You are a performance engineer.
Create a load profile for this system.

INPUTS:
Capacity Baseline: [PASTE CAPACITY_BASELINE]

Provide:
1. Traffic patterns (Daily, Weekly, Seasonal)
2. Peak hour behavior
3. Read vs Write ratio
4. Payload sizes (Request and Response)
5. User behavior distribution (Browsers, Devices, Regions)
6. API endpoint popularity (Which endpoints get hit most?)
7. Cache hit ratio (If applicable)
8. Database query distribution
9. Third-party API call frequency
10. Growth projection (3, 6, 12 months)
11. A load profile chart (Text-based)
12. A checklist for verifying the load profile

Explain each metric in beginner-friendly language.
Use real data where possible, estimates where not.
