   Type    : 'Oswald' (bold, industrial condensed display) + 'Source
             Sans 3' (clean, neutral body) — a fresh pairing not
             reused
   Motif   : the verify scan sweep — a slim horizontal scan-line that
             sweeps once across the frame, briefly highlighting the
             bottle, echoing a sense of verification and quality-
             checked formulation, distinct from the power slash (a
             diagonal streak) and steady gauge settle (a needle) used
             elsewhere by sweeping horizontally in a single flat pass
   Layout  : STRUCTURALLY UNIQUE HERO — a ninety-first distinct hero
             paradigm for this project: THE VERIFY SCAN SWEEP. A slim
             horizontal scan-line sweeps once across the frame behind
             the bottle, echoing a sense of quality verification -
             distinct from a solid orb, chevrons, corner frames,
             petal shapes, a ribbon orbit, a medallion ring, honeycomb
             cells, cross-hair lines, a drip arc, power bars, an EKG
             pulse line, a DNA helix, a hex node grid, an ascending
             arrow trail, expanding ripple rings, a crystal drop
             facet, a flex arc, a synapse spark web, a honeycomb bee
             path, a focus ring iris, a gummy bounce trail, a calm
             wave ring, an amber melt drip, a neon drop glow, a wave
             crest arc, a power slash, a radiant glow halo, a
             galloping trail, a nerve signal wave, a nerve root
             branch, a cell cluster orbit, a compass bearing arc, a
             thought bubble trail, rising flame wisps, citrus burst
             rays, a rising sun arc, silk strand waves, circuit pulse
             lines, golden thread weave, a page turn arc, a balance
             scale arc, a vital drop trail, a breeze wisp trail, a
             lantern glow drift, a heartbeat ring pulse, a dotted
             halo bloom, a cortex fold wave, a rosemary sprig sway, a
             neural node web, a heart line echo, a mobility ribbon
             flow, a ginkgo leaf drift, a signal stream cascade, a
             droplet arrow rise, a steady gauge settle, a petal drift
             rise, a neural spark cascade, a zenith peak arc, a
             voltage arc crackle, a prism refract drift, a heat
             shimmer rise, a nectar ribbon swirl, an ember spiral
             rise, a synapse pulse arc, a glucose ring settle, a
             gummy drift bounce, a nerve pathway trace, a honeycomb
             bee path, an amber melt drip, a hush wave, a lantern
             glow drift, or the power slash used in this project's
             other builds. The bottle image itself is NEVER clipped
             or masked by the scan-line - it stays fully open with
             object-fit:contain.
   Voice   : EXTREMELY cautious, structure-function only - GlucoForce
             supports blood sugar levels already within a normal
             range, metabolism, and energy as part of a healthy
             lifestyle. NEVER claims to treat, cure, prevent, or
             manage diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2) or any other
             diagnosed metabolic condition, and NEVER suggests
             adjusting, reducing, or stopping any diabetes medication.
   SOURCING NOTE (SEVERE - SAME TEMPLATE AS A PRIOR BUILD IN THIS
             PROJECT): the assigned competitor content url
             (myglucoforce.com) shares the exact same severe-
             violation marketing template previously found for
             another product in this project's history: disease-
             management framing ("manage Type 2"), diagnosed-
             diabetes-patient testimonials describing diagnosis and
             medication struggles, an unverified doctor endorsement,
             an unverified "96% of customers order 6 bottles" stat,
             and - critically - a "Diabetes Freedom" bonus e-book
             that explicitly reveals medications claimed to "worsen
             insulin resistance." NONE of these severe elements are
             used on this site: the "Diabetes Freedom" bonus is
             EXCLUDED ENTIRELY, no diagnosed-patient testimonials or
             doctor endorsement are reproduced, and the "96%" stat is
             not used. Of the remaining bonuses, "Fortifying Vitamins"
             is described generically without its source's specific
             medical claims ("relieve pain, reduce liver fat, improve
             vision"), and "Nerve Renew Guide" is named by title only
             without its symptom-relief claims. The confirmed
             6-ingredient formula (Chromium Picolinate, Gymnema Leaf
             Extract, African Mango Seed Extract, Green Tea Leaf
             Extract, Maca Root Extract, Panax Ginseng) and confirmed
             pricing ($79/2-bottle, $69/3-bottle, $49/6-bottle) and
             60-day guarantee are used as legitimately confirmed
             facts. Given the diabetes-adjacent category, explicit
             "never stop or change diabetes medication without
             consulting your doctor" language appears throughout.
