/* ============================================
   proservices-static template
   Professional-services vertical (lawyers + accountants). A trust-forward,
   authoritative LIGHT-NAVY theme: cool near-white body + a real brand navy
   + a DARKENED brand-strong for AA text/CTAs + a confident brand accent
   (brass/gold for accountants OR a bright confident blue for litigators, per
   prospect). Re-hued per prospect via deriveProPalette (template.json
   paletteMode="pro").

   BOLD RESULTS-FORWARD direction (malmanlaw-inspired): the confident,
   results-first energy of a top personal-injury / litigation firm applied to the
   whole vertical. SHARP 0-radius corners, HIGH contrast, bold uppercase CTAs
   ("CALL NOW" energy), oversized serif result numbers, and deep brand-navy
   section bands carry authority. Keeps the three-tier type system (Playfair
   Display display / Plus Jakarta Sans UI / Inter body — NEVER Fraunces/Lora),
   disciplined photo slots with graceful gradient fallbacks, and considered
   motion. The bold-but-tokenized treatment reads confident, not generic: every
   result number, stat and CTA is content-driven and real-data-gated.
