lists with icons; grid layout means items should be comparable in length. Six items fill a 3×2 grid
cleanly, which is the practical maximum before the arrows crowd.
Key Options
| Option | Effect |
|---|---|
infographic list-grid-horizontal-icon-arrow |
Icon grid with arrow accents |
list-column-vertical-icon-arrow |
Column variant when the list is a workflow, not a portfolio |
list-grid-badge-card |
No icons; use when symbols would be invented rather than chosen |
Pitfalls
- ❌ Claiming capability without owner → ✅ each area needs at least one named person behind the scenes
- ❌ Icons chosen for looks → ✅ the symbol should say what the area is about
- ❌ Nine-plus areas → ✅ a team that covers nine areas covers none deeply
