Pulse Grid — project status 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 Pulse Grid does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves
foot rule carrying the project reference and the report number (fixed height — nothing in it may grow)
Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data
metric cards; workstream rows; milestone rows; risk rows; the progress and next-week lists
Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking
the headline paragraph; every list item; risk mitigations; the ask
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 workstream table after the cards; milestones after the workstreams; risks after milestones; the ask last
Page breaksWhat may split, what must not
the milestone and risk tables may split across pages; each metric card and the ask panel must not
Last pageHow the document ends
risks and the ask may occupy the final page alone; the foot rule carries it

Montserrat + Lato

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