Pick a shape, not a wording

One decision, four ways

The review pack is correct and it has produced no decisions, so the thing to settle is not how it is written but what shape a decision should arrive in. Below is the same call — is infographic a word of its own? — laid out four ways, on the same real pieces and the same probed numbers. Look at each for a minute and say which one you would actually sit down with.

the brief

One decision, as short as it goes. The two piles of real pictures are the whole argument; the words get out of the way. Roughly a minute.

the console

The same decision as a card you mark, in five parts — plain English, what the library holds, the ways to go, what your answer does, your mark. The shape you used in July, with the pictures moved to the front.

the merge

Five decisions at once, all asking the same question, so you feel the rhythm of a sitting rather than reading about one. The working is behind a click on every row.

the hybrid

The merge's five-at-once spine with the brief's evidence inside it. The ask sits at the top, every row is answerable without opening anything, and clicking a row opens the pieces at full size with the numbers beside them — built after measuring the other three.

Every number and every picture here came out of the live library on 7 September 2026, and each picture was fetched and checked before it was shown. Looking at this page changes nothing, and neither does answering it today.
