Design language

Use the controls at the bottom of the screen. Moving the light is the whole theme switch; the tier selector shows the Safari and reduced-transparency renderings without leaving this browser.

Design language

Material is meaning

Five surfaces, each encoding provenance or confidentiality. You read where content came from and who may see it before you read a single label.

Finding

Committee determined the complaint substantiated in part.

Clear

Human-authored, verified

The baseline. Someone took responsibility for this content and it has been checked.

Suggested summary

Inquiry delayed pending one outstanding witness statement.

Frosted

AI-drafted, pending review

Shimmers until a human accepts it. Motion means unreviewed — the single clearest signal in the interface.

Statutory deadline

41 days remaining · 90-day inquiry

Etched

Computed by the system

Derived values — SLA clocks, health scores. Distinguishes a calculated date from one a person typed.

Restricted content, not available at your access level: 3 witness statements.

Smoked

Restricted

You may know something exists without seeing it. The content is never sent to your client at all.

Redacted content. Reason: Identifying detail removed under POSH Act s.16.

Obsidian

Redacted

Removed by decision, with a recorded reason. Redaction should look deliberate, not broken.

These are semantics, not styles

Choosing a material is a claim about the content. Reaching for frosted because it looks nicer breaks the language everywhere else, because elsewhere frosted means an AI wrote this and nobody has checked it.

Architecture

Nine engines, one path

A case travels from definition to publication through composable engines. Nothing crosses from private record to public story except along this path.
