Diagrams and illustration
NTWRK does not illustrate. It diagrams: a figure shows a structure, a sequence or a comparison that the words describe. Every figure follows the same seven rules.
01Rules
- HTML text, always. No words inside SVG
<text>or images. SVG draws connectors only, markedaria-hidden. - 14px minimum on a phone, 13px on desktop, measured. Below that, re-lay out the figure (stack, rail, 2×2); never scale it down.
- Evidence over adjectives. A figure shows a real structure from the copy beside it. If the words are not on the page, the figure cannot say them.
- No unsupported claims. No axes without data, no curves that imply magnitude, no invented file names or numbers. A qualitative figure says so (“Not a forecast.”).
- Owned is solid, rented is dashed. Forest marks the owned or decision element;
--mutedashes mark the rented or external one. - Every figure has a caption in mono 14px, with the source and date when it carries facts.
- Tokens only, so the figure works in dark theme unchanged.

03Mobile behaviour
| Figure | At ≤560px |
|---|---|
| Comparison | Panels stack; items go 2×2 |
| Flow | Vertical left rail, dot per step, Forest on the last |
| Hub | Centre node first, then a list on a rail |
| Timeline | Columns stack on a rail; axis strip hidden |
04What a figure must not do
Capability curve
An unlabelled y-axis implying owned capability climbs after 2026. No data existed. Replaced by a qualitative timeline.
File-label cards
“customer_record.schema” and similar invented file names. Removed in the 23 Sep audit.
