Conviction Momentum — two redesign directions
Real data from today's run, rendered at true 600px email width. Both directions fix the four issues: no more greyed-out LOW rows, no verbose narrative (deep theses move to viska.gg), tighter formatting, denser & more readable.
The Theme Heatmap above each is the existing block, shown for context — unchanged. Only the momentum block below it is being redesigned.
Direction A · Compact matrix
Scan-first. One row per theme — level, movement, coverage, confidence aligned in columns. Densest & most email-robust (a real table).

Direction B · Signal strips
Movement-first. A large direction arrow + value leads each strip; theme, confidence chip and momentum label sit together; deltas on a quiet second line.

What changed from the live version
- LOW no longer greyed. Confidence is a chip — HIGH solid green, MED amber, LOW outlined (dark text, full-opacity row). The row stays fully legible; confidence reads as a label, not as "broken/dead".
- No narrative paragraphs. The verbose "the active broker set is uniformly constructive…" prose is gone. The email carries the signal; the full thesis + "what would change" live on the viska.gg report page.
- Tighter conviction gauge. One clean centered track (−1 … 0 … +1) with a fill from center and a single dark prior-tick — replaces the noisy 20-segment bar + faint ghost row.
- Aligned & dense. Level, movement, coverage and confidence sit in fixed positions so the eye scans down columns (A) or down a movement gutter (B).
