Everything in one place: the fork pair, then the seven versions.

Two review jobs, one page. Part 1 — the brand fork: the same Case Timeline concept rendered in both design systems, so the two remaining fork decisions (color system and typography) get judged with eyes, not words. The name decision is settled: Goode Injury Law, both systems. Part 2 — the seven versions: the original identical-skeleton lineup, now final with Barton's photo and all copy revisions. Review on your phone first.

Part 1 · The fork pair — Case Timeline, both systems (checkpoint)

One concept, identical substance — Barton's locked thesis, his four values, the five verified results (each disclaimer-paired), the honest fee math, the caregiver path. Only the system varies. The page asks "Where are you in this?" first and moves a YOU ARE HERE marker down the case timeline.

SYSTEM AInk & Gold · serif editorial

The canon system: ink + restrained gold, Source Serif 4 / Public Sans, editorial calm. Note for Barton: this ink is a dark navy — a deliberate yes/no against the former-firm-navy exclusion, not an accident.

Open Case Timeline — System A

SYSTEM BBarton's system · Deep Blue-Green

His system on the decided name: "Goode Injury Law" with the period-as-mark and full-width underline (his lockup architecture, kept), DM Sans / Inter, no serifs, Deep Blue-Green #1A6B5C leading. Descriptor omitted as redundant with the name — his call to restore.

Open Case Timeline — System B

The two decisions this pair (and the pairs that follow) settle: ① Color system — Deep Blue-Green vs Ink & Gold (including the navy question). ② Typography — DM Sans/Inter with no serifs vs the serif-thinks/sans-works editorial signature. After Rebecca's go on this checkpoint, the Brutal Honesty and Magazine concept pairs follow, then a side-by-side decision page.

What the dotted underlines mean: anything marked like this is a fact awaiting Barton's confirmation before it can ever publish (bar admission year, prior-results language, firm background, "grew up here," response window). The phone number and address are placeholders on purpose. Barton's photography appears as labeled placeholder frames until the shoot.

Part 2 · The seven versions (identical skeleton, seven skins)

How to judge (five minutes per version)

The first screen. Within five seconds: do you know who Barton is, why to trust him, and what to do next? Does it pull you in?
The voice. Read the hero and the "Why Barton left" block out loud. Does it sound like the firm you're building?
On your phone. Could a hurt person act in under ten seconds? Does the sticky Call · Text · Case Check bar feel right?
The logos-hidden test. Cover the name. Does it still feel like Goode — calm, precise, local, Barton-led?
Steal list. Note your favorite modules from each version — a synthesis of two versions is a perfectly good verdict.

Verdicts land in register.yaml (knowledge repo → 30-brand → concepts → round3-website). After this review: Round B explores one or two structure-varying versions built on the concepts Barton liked (the Split and the Conversation), then the winner green-lights the end-to-end build. Nothing here publishes anywhere until the dotted-underline facts are confirmed.
