Six models described in six paragraphs made the reader do the comparison themselves: to find out which model answers over which horizon, you had to read all six and hold them in your head. The information is two-dimensional, so it's now drawn that way.

The map

Each model sits on one shared time axis — recent past → coming quarters → 3–5 years → decades — split into UK and US lanes. Where a model sits is the answer to "which one do I want":

horizon UK US
recent past → now boe-svar
coming quarters frb-us, us-hank
3–5 years obr-macro
decades psl-og, define-uk

Evidence strength is in the shape, not a label. A solid outline means the model is checked against an external published anchor; a dashed one means no independent outcome benchmark exists. That puts psl-og and define-uk visibly apart from the other four — the honest reading, and the thing a table buries in a column.

The six evidence statements are kept in full, in the key/value grid fixed in #192, so nothing that made this section worth reading is lost — only the arrangement changed.

Verification

The Vercel preview is SSO-protected and the browser here isn't on that team, so it could not be eyeballed before merge. Verified geometrically instead:

viewBox 940x470   model pills: 6
links: 6   ids: 6   purposes: 6
hardcoded font-family: 0
RESULT: OK - no overlaps, all inside viewBox, all labels within their pill

Site suite 1564 passed; contract and generator clean. Cache key v=6v=7.

Six models described in six paragraphs made the reader do the comparison
themselves: to find out which model answers over which horizon, you had
to read all six and hold them in your head. The information is
two-dimensional, so it is now drawn that way.

The map places each model on one shared time axis -- recent past, coming
quarters, three to five years, decades -- and splits UK from US into
lanes. Where a model sits IS the answer to "which one do I want": the
recent past is boe-svar, a UK reform three to five years out is
obr-macro, decades is psl-og, climate scenarios is define-uk, and the US
pair sits in coming quarters.

Evidence strength is in the shape rather than a label: a solid outline
means the model is checked against an external published anchor, a
dashed one means no independent outcome benchmark exists. That puts
psl-og and define-uk visibly apart from the other four, which is the
honest reading and the thing a table buried in a column.

The six evidence statements are kept in full, in the key/value grid
fixed in #192, so nothing that made this section worth reading is lost
-- only the arrangement changed.

Details: every pill is a link to its model page, with hover and
focus-visible states. Fonts come from --body/--mono rather than a
hardcoded family (the #187 lesson). Colours are all tokens, so it
follows the theme. Below 720px the map is hidden and the evidence lines
carry the section alone, because a two-dimensional layout stops being
readable at that width.

Verified geometrically: no pill overlaps another, all six sit inside the
viewBox, every label falls within its own pill, and no font-family is
hardcoded. The Vercel preview is SSO-protected so it could not be
eyeballed before merge.

Cache key v=6 -> v=7, template included.
