# Centered list of research methods — Section Design Reference

Schema: Design Details SECTION.md v3.2

Website: Artificial Societies | Understand People
Section ID: f587aad9-3b9d-4f08-b4b6-2e6dc036f38e
Design Details page: https://designdetails.io/sections/societies-ai--home--ai-f587aad9-3b9d-4f08-b4b6-2e6dc036f38e
Status: deterministic evidence captured; editorial AI review pending

## Purpose

This is a process section on the Home page. Use the attached crop and measured browser facts to reconstruct its composition. Do not infer unmeasured source values.

## Layout

1440×402px root; block

## Visual signature

editorial, minimal, corporate, sophisticated, architectural treatment at 1440×910px. The crop spans 3266–4176px of a 7925px page.

## Components

- Tabs
- Feature Collection
- Newsletter Form
- Footer
- Floating Annotations
- Vertical Tabbed Gallery
- Announcement Bar
- Navigation Bar
- Hero With Background Imagery
- Testimonial Card
- Logo Strip

## Evidence note

The geometry, typography, colors, media, and animation parameters below come from saved HTML/CSS/browser evidence when present. Website-level roles are supplied separately. Editorial section judgment remains pending unless the MCP resolves this source ID to a promoted canonical record.

## Build blueprint v3.2

### Purpose and classification

- Canonical type: steps
- Source type: process
- Structure: 1440×402px root; block
- Layout: 1440×402px root; block
- Styles: editorial, minimal, corporate, sophisticated, architectural
- Components: Tabs, Feature Collection, Newsletter Form, Footer, Floating Annotations, Vertical Tabbed Gallery, Announcement Bar, Navigation Bar, Hero With Background Imagery, Testimonial Card, Logo Strip
- Purpose: process section from the Home page of Artificial Societies | Understand People.
- Visual signature: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) with 1440×402px root; block. Inspect the crop for image and content hierarchy.
- Place on the page: 6 of 13, after Other (`72906c5f-a985-450e-9ae5-700cee4a995c`), before Call to action (`27bced91-3b61-43f3-9650-8bec8570c776`)

### Crop and composition

- Crop: 1440×910px; aspect ratio 1.582:1
- Page bounds: 3266–4176px of 7925px
- Guidance: Preserve the documented hierarchy and relationships; exact measurements were not deterministically captured.

### Exact typography evidence

The sectionScale values were measured inside this crop. The siteRoles values explain how those faces function across the source website; they must not replace section measurements.

```json
{
  "sectionScale": [],
  "siteRoles": [
    {
      "role": "display",
      "size": "40px",

}
```

### Exact color evidence

The section samples record where each computed value was used. Functional roles come from the website-level classifier and remain separate.

```json

      "sampleId": "color-13",
      "confidence": 0.8
    }
  ]
}
```

### Design tokens

```json
{
  "radius": "No visible border-radius applied to major structural elements.",
  "density": "Low density; the design leverages substantial whitespace to give typographic and photographic elements breathing room.",
  "evidence": "Visual inspection of the sharp-edged feature cards (Color 2 backgrounds), the solid black 'Book demo' button, and the wide margins isolating text blocks in the middle sections.",
  "borderStyle": "Minimal use of borders; when present, they are thin (1px) and solid, such as the footer separator.",
  "buttonStyle": "Buttons are sharp-cornered rectangles, typically styled as solid dark blocks with light text or light blocks with dark text.",
  "cornerStyle": "Strictly sharp, squared corners (0px border-radius) are used consistently across buttons, cards, and image frames.",
  "contentWidth": "Content spans wide, but adheres to a structured, multi-column grid that aligns text blocks and images precisely.",
  "spacingRhythm": "Generous vertical spacing between distinct sections, with tight, controlled margins within component grids (like the testimonial and feature cards)."
}
```

### Reconstruction specification

This is the implementation contract for the captured desktop viewport. Prefer section-specific facts here over general website descriptions.

- Root: 1440×402px; block; padding {"top":"0px","right":"78px","bottom":"0px","left":"78px"}; gap normal; background rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); radius 0px.
- Observed gaps: 8px.
- Representative content widths: 852, 409, 408, 367, 358, 295, 285px.
- Layout containers: 0; cards/surfaces: 0; media elements: 0; browser animations: 2.

### Observed motion

No timestamped authored motion is attached. Use only restrained baseline transitions.

The browser animation records above are deterministic parameters captured from active browser animations. The timestamped observations describe what Gemini saw in the video. Treat them as complementary evidence. When either source is empty or they conflict, state the uncertainty instead of inventing timing or easing.

### Responsive contract

- Measured viewport: 1440px wide.
- Mobile/tablet values: not measured by this section evidence unless a separate capture is explicitly listed.
- Preserve hierarchy and sequence; collapse simultaneous columns only where needed, maintain media aspect ratios, and verify touch targets and text wrapping at target breakpoints.

### Structure versus visual skin

- Preserve: content hierarchy, layout relationships, section rhythm, interaction purpose.
- Adapt: brand colors, font family, copy, imagery, icons, decorative details.
- Rule: Preserve the observed design logic while creating original branding, copy, assets, and implementation details.

### Adaptation and dependencies

- Effort: Not assessed
- What transfers: Documented hierarchy and composition
- Dependencies: None recorded
- Guidance: Adapt the pattern to the new product and content.

### Evidence readiness

- Coverage: 7/7
- Can build: Yes
- Missing facts: timestamped authored motion
- Warning: Buildable with adaptations for these unsupported facts: timestamped authored motion.

### Agent implementation prompt

Create an original steps section inspired by the design evidence titled “Centered list of research methods”.

Purpose: process section from the Home page of Artificial Societies | Understand People.

Structure: 1440×402px root; block. Source layout label: 1440×402px root; block. Preserve the documented hierarchy and relationships; exact measurements were not deterministically captured.

Visual signature to preserve at the pattern level: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) with 1440×402px root; block. Inspect the crop for image and content hierarchy.

Style direction: editorial, minimal, corporate, sophisticated, architectural.

Do not invent signature motion. Use only restrained baseline transitions if the product needs them.

Transfer the documented hierarchy and composition rather than source copy or assets.

No explicit dependencies were recorded.

Adapt the pattern to the new product and content.

Use new copy, imagery, branding, and implementation details. Do not reproduce the source website or its proprietary assets.
