      "after": "Five visuals with the primary KPI (revenue trend + plan reference) spanning the top row, a variance-to-plan card, a service-line bar, a regional bar, and a one-sentence narrative. One accent colour, snap-to-grid alignment, pinned mobile layout.",
      "story": "Q3 opened behind pace but recovered by September; the executive needs to see the trajectory, not the YTD number in isolation."
