You're meeting them in person for the first time. Three layers, locked in order, no going back.
Base is the silhouette and colour you start from. Statement is the one detail people will notice. Restraint is what you leave off — and it's the hardest of the three.
Two meters move as you lock. At Ease is how comfortable you look. Read as Ready is how clearly the room can tell you meant it.
Your Index is the lower of the two. A high score on one won't rescue a low score on the other, which is the entire lesson.
This isn't about looking good. It's about the room not having to guess.
