Usage
Stating the limits explicitly is more persuasive than a longer feature list, and it filters out the people who would have churned.
- Be specific in the excluded column; vagueness there reads as evasion.
- Keep both lists roughly the same length or the section looks defensive.
Variants and states
Every entry below is a genuine difference in behaviour or layout, and every one of them is visible in the preview above.
- Included column
- Excluded column
- Two columns at lg
Accessibility
- Paired semantics
- Both columns are lists with real headings, not styled paragraphs.
- Tone independence
- Tick and cross icons are paired with distinct copy, never colour alone.
Foundry implements published ARIA patterns and is tested against them. No WCAG certification is claimed — see the accessibility documentation for what is and is not covered.
