## Conclusion
|
|
|
|
**Status**: ✅ **VERIFIED**
|
|
|
|
All remaining gradients are used appropriately:
|
|
- Hero sections and featured content sections (6 instances)
|
|
- Functional overlays for text readability (1 instance)
|
|
- Decorative elements on small containers and visualizations (5 instances)
|
|
|
|
**No card backgrounds use gradients** - All card components now use solid backgrounds, aligning with "Surgical Minimalism" principles.
|
|
|
|
Gradients are reserved for:
|
|
1. Hero/featured sections where they add visual interest
|
|
2. Overlay gradients for text readability over images
|
|
3. Small decorative elements (icon containers, visualizations)
|
|
|
|
This aligns with the design principle of using gradients sparingly and only in appropriate contexts.
