/* ==========================================================================
   Franchisor Database — design system
   A franchise-buyer's journal. Business-almanac feel: aged ledger paper,
   brass/gold foil accent, deep forest ink — a trade publication, not a SaaS
   landing page. Signature: the "deal sheet" — a compact Item-7-style line
   table (Category / Read Time / Level), modeled directly on the Initial
   Investment tables in a real Franchise Disclosure Document.
