Heat Matrix — risk register template, Card-grid dashboard layout, rendered from live data

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 Heat Matrix does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves
foot rule carrying the register reference and the review date (fixed height — nothing in it may grow)
Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data
summary cards; matrix cells; register rows; the movement list
Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking
every register row's risk and mitigation; the appetite note
Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks
the foot rule sits at the page bottom on every page
Order on the pageWhat sits after what
the matrix and the register sit side by side under the cards; the movement strip follows them
Page breaksWhat may split, what must not
the register table may split across pages; each summary card, the matrix and the appetite note must not
Last pageHow the document ends
the movement strip may occupy the final page alone; the foot rule carries it

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