/* desk.solanderpartners.com — style per VA-003 (calm, premium, reliable).
   Deep neutral base (near-black / charcoal) + generous white space + ONE restrained
   trust-blue accent. Low colourfulness, low complexity = higher trust (Reinecke 2013).
   Mobile-first, Inter. A "verified ✓" motif carries the accuracy promise.
   NOT the AI-tool neon look, NOT the busy cheap-agency look, NOT the maker site's blue+gold. */
