Design system
Fourteen colours, eighteen text styles and a handful of components hold every page together. Change a style once and every chapter, chart and cover follows.
Warm ivory paper, near-black ink, deep aubergine and a restrained vermilion. Vermilion marks the one thing to notice on a page, so it stays rare.

Result comparison

|---|---|
| Target (max) | 14 days or less |
| 2023-24 | 21 days |
9 days in 2024-25, within the target of 14 days or less, down 57.1% on 21 days in 2023-24. Lower is better for this measure.
Finance table
Vermilion marks targets, chapter numbers and the action to take. Everything else stays ink on ivory.
A number never appears alone: it sits beside its target, the year before and a sentence that says what it means.
Charts are drawn from the same values as the readable table beside them, so they always agree.
A missing figure shows as Not reported, never as zero, and a changed method is marked Not comparable.
1200px content width, 40px side margins on desktop and 20px on phone, with generous chapter spacing.
Every reveal has a static, keyboard and reduced-motion equivalent, so nothing depends on animation.
