How to Use It

Three-column layouts leverage the rule of three - concepts grouped in threes feel complete and memorable. Use for capabilities/features, step sequences (Past/Present/Future), or tiered options. Keep column content symmetrical in length. Add icons or numbers at the top of each column to anchor the eye.
