Verdict Gradient Panel

The closing panel of a vivid thesis — restates the rating, target, and rationale in one visually weighted box.

What this device does

After a long scroll of evidence, the reader needs ONE last cleanly-restated takeaway. This panel does that: rating word, price arrow, one-line rationale, optional supporting bullets. Designed to be the panel a reader screenshots.

When to use

• Final panel of a vivid-infographic-recipe
• NOT for: institutional reports (those use a full Conclusion section)

How agents use this

data = {
  rating: "Buy",
  current_price: 208,
  target_price: 245,
  target_rationale: "28x FY27 EPS + ~5% capital return yield",
  supporting_bullets: ["+18% upside", "Mag 7 relative value", "stabilizing China"]
}

Visual register

Green-to-purple gradient (linear-gradient(135deg, rgba(0,212,170,0.12), rgba(167,139,250,0.08))) with a green border. Verdict word uses Space Grotesk at clamp(36px, 5vw, 56px). The price arrow is the focal point — current price → triangle → target price, all on one line.

Why it works

Recency wins memory: the LAST thing the reader sees on the scroll is the thing they screenshot, share, or paste into Slack. This panel is engineered to be that artifact — minimal text, one strong visual, the call front and center.
