Rendered by the same engine the API runs — this is the compiled output, not a mock-up.

What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Gutter Rule does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furniture Never grows, never moves
folio strip at the top of every page; footer contact strip
Repeats per record One block per row of your data
approach steps; scope items; schedule rows; fee split rows
Grows with your data Absorbs long values without breaking
brief and approach prose; scope item descriptions; fee terms note; acceptance sentence
Pinned to every page Holds position across page breaks
folio strip at page top; footer strip at page bottom
Order on the page What sits after what
the two-column measure follows the deck and meta strip; the investment panel follows the measure; the acceptance block follows the investment panel
Page breaks What may split, what must not
either column of the measure may split across pages and the gutter rule redraws per page; the investment panel and the acceptance block must not split
Last page How the document ends
the investment panel and acceptance block may occupy the final page alone; folio and footer strips carry it

The pairing this design was drawn around, laid out as a Two-column magazine on A4 portrait. Either face can be swapped in the editor — the layout holds on the grid, not on a font's metrics.
