, in the order listed in the jump-nav panel at right. This is a REVIEW DOCUMENT, not final production markup – once approved page by page, each .page section gets split into its own standalone HTML file per the existing one-file-per-page deploy pattern. COVER ART / ASSET FILENAMES: every image falls back to a visible placeholder box (see .cover-placeholder below, and the matching .wr-pov-photo-ph / .wr-slide pattern on the Wrath page) per the agreed Cover Art Policy whenever its real file 404s. 2026-07-30: Matt did a full rename pass across every image asset to a consistent scheme (cover_x.png, char_book_name.jpg/png, card_wrath_x.png, author_x.jpg) and every sitewide was repointed to match – superseding two earlier passes this same day that used older filenames (some of which were themselves mid-rename at the time). Current mapping, for reference: Balance→cover_balance.png is primary as of 2026-07-30 (the red redesign – the original blue, cover_balance2.png, landed Matt in Amazon trouble; still kept, now shown via hover-reveal on Balance's own hero – see the comment by Balance's .bal-cover-swap block. Home/Books catalog thumbnails still point at the blue cover_balance2.png per Matt's earlier "back as primary everywhere" note – flag if those should switch to red too), Clutch→clutch-cover.png, Wrath→cover-wrath.png (2026-07-30: corrected to match Matt's real uploaded filename, which uses a hyphen and the standard spelling – the earlier cover_wrath.png/dual-spelling-fallback guess was wrong on both counts; used for both the main cover and the ARC-page cover, same file), Seven→cover-seven.png, Field Tested→cover-fieldtested.png, No Average Brain→cover-noaveragebrain.png, Noble Island→cover-nobleisland.png, "Couldn't Have Been an Email"→cover-couldnthavebeen.png, the CLUTCH framework guides→create_cover.png/cover_voices.png/ cover_6c.png/cover_delegate.png, Balance's Four Voices→char_balance_ alex/ellie/jane/mark.jpg, Wrath's Ellis/Eck→char_wrath_ellis.png/ char_wrath_eck.png, the "m kirk" author photos→author_goode.jpg/ author_goode2.jpg, and Wrath's 10-image review carousel→card_wrath_*.png (iliadOpening, andromache, achilles, shawstewart, sorley, dulce, gas, leaves, owen) plus card_warth_eastWinds.png (was card_warth_owen.png – Matt renamed it in a spelling-cleanup pass; note the "warth" spelling on that one specifically is intentional, a different file from card_wrath_owen.png, both real and distinct). COPY: Balance's Q&A content is real, taken from Matt's reference screenshot. Every other book's Q&A / descriptive copy is placeholder text in [brackets] – per the no-fabrication rule, nothing here should be mistaken for approved marketing copy. PALETTES: Balance, Clutch, Wrath, and Seven use their existing documented palettes. Field Tested, No Average Brain, and Noble Island have NO approved style guide yet – the colors used for them below are placeholder assignments within their brand family (GDC for the two Matt Goode titles, muted m kirk-adjacent for Noble Island), flagged inline and awaiting Matt's real style guide. TYPE SCALE: 2026-07-31, sitewide – Matt said fonts read small/hard to read even on desktop. Every font-size declaration across the whole document (head styles + every page's own scoped
