Both obey the decided envelope: near Linear, Bloomberg's provenance habit, dark default, one sans and one mono, colour only for evidence quality and direction, motion only when an event lands. They differ in structure: A makes the number the headline, B makes the sentence the headline. Same SPRING fixture, same facts. Look before you read.
IBM Plex Sans and Plex Mono. Ice blue and burnt orange on graphite. Numbers first, ledger density. Wordmark: CAVERIO in mono caps with a reading tick.
Instrument Sans and JetBrains Mono. Mineral teal and terracotta on warm dark, ochre means "you". Sentence first, field-book margin for provenance. Wordmark: caverio lowercase with the ochre dot on the i.
OPTIONS.md: one page of reasoning, then each option's wordmark, type pair, palette with the colour-vision check, spacing, motion, three taglines and its failure mode, then the recommendation and a six-test wave 0 protocol. palette-cvd.txt is the full colour-vision output. Worker recommendation: B, with A's ledger rows on the desktop Now list.
