Never use #EC1F26 for body text (4.38:1 on white). Neutrals keep the existing grays. Old #E30613 is retired.

1. Make this project the master
Treat this kit plus assets/brand-design-kit.md as the source. I can only edit this project, not the separate Focus Insite Design System project.
2. Update the Design System project
In that project, change the red tokens to #EC1F26 and #D31921, set the fonts, and change the 9 in 10 show rate to 9 in 10. Open it and ask me to do it there, or send me the file.
3. Send me the Garet font files
Garet is licensed, so I can only use it if you send the files. Without them, headings use Poppins. Switching fonts will shift some layouts, so I would re-check every template.
4. Answer four questions
Official tagline. Confirm $5M+ paid and 98% satisfaction (the site says $3.5M+ and 98.8%). Pick one Human Layer AI palette. Confirm Human Layer AI stays out of this kit.
Three registers
Panelist: incentive first, next to time, then who qualifies and next step. Say incentive, never job.
Client: fast, specific, proof-led.
Government and RFP: formal and complete.
Plain talk
Short sentences. One idea per line. Strong hook first.
Banned: leverage, synergy, circle back, solutions-driven, unlock.
Never invent stats, case studies or client names.
Every study post
Show the Focus Insite logo or an "A Focus Insite study" line, visible without scrolling. Include who qualifies, format and how to apply. Use only the incentive from that study's approved brief.
Keep brands apart
Focus Insite and Human Layer AI never share a piece. Separate palette, fonts and voice.
