1
+ # Numbers
2
+
3
+ Guidance for dates, times, currency, and other numbers in Equal Experts content.
4
+
5
+ ---
6
+
7
+ ## Quick Reference
8
+
9
+ - **Dates:** Use a clear, unambiguous format; prefer written or ISO (YYYY-MM-DD) depending on context
10
+ - **Times:** Use 24-hour or am/pm consistently; specify time zone when relevant
11
+ - **Currency:** Use symbol or code (e.g. £, GBP) as appropriate; be consistent within a document
12
+ - **Percentages:** Use the % symbol with the number (e.g. 45%)
13
+ - **Large numbers:** Use commas (or spaces in some locales) for thousands
14
+
15
+ ---
16
+
17
+ ## Dates
18
+
19
+ - Prefer a format that avoids ambiguity (e.g. 24 March 2025 or 2025-03-24)
20
+ - In UK-facing content, day–month–year is standard (24 March 2025)
21
+ - In technical or international contexts, ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) is often clearer
22
+ - Spell out month names in body copy when space allows; abbreviate only in tables or tight UI (e.g. Mar 2025)
23
+
24
+ ---
25
+
26
+ ## Time
27
+
28
+ - Be consistent within a document: either 24-hour (14:30) or 12-hour with am/pm (2:30 pm)
29
+ - Specify time zone when the reader needs to act or compare across regions (e.g. "2:30 pm GMT")
30
+ - Use "midday" and "midnight" where they're clearer than 12:00
31
+
32
+ ---
33
+
34
+ ## Currency
35
+
36
+ - Use the appropriate symbol (£, $, €) or ISO code (GBP, USD, EUR) as fits the context
37
+ - Be consistent: don't mix "£10" and "10 GBP" in the same piece unless one is clearly a label
38
+ - For whole amounts, no decimal places unless it's pence/cents (e.g. £10 not £10.00 for ten pounds)
39
+
40
+ ---
41
+
42
+ ## Percentages
43
+
44
+ - Use the % symbol with the number: 45%, 12.5%
45
+ - In body copy, "45%" is usually preferable to "45 percent" unless you're writing for voice or very formal copy
46
+ - For a range, "40–60%" (en dash, no space)
47
+
48
+ ---
49
+
50
+ ## Units of Measure
51
+
52
+ - Use metric by default in UK/international content unless the audience or product uses imperial
53
+ - Abbreviate when standard: kg, m, km, cm. Spell out in prose when it reads more naturally
54
+ - Leave a space between number and unit: "5 kg", "12 cm"
55
+
56
+ ---
57
+
58
+ ## Large Numbers
59
+
60
+ - Use commas as thousand separators in English (1,000,000) or a thin space where that's the convention
61
+ - Keep formatting consistent in tables and lists
62
+ - For very large numbers, consider "1.5 million" or "2.3 billion" in body copy

1
+ # Punctuation
2
+
3
+ Guidance for commas, dashes, apostrophes, and other punctuation in Equal Experts content.
4
+
5
+ ---
6
+
7
+ ## Quick Reference
8
+
9
+ - **Commas:** Use to separate clauses and items in a list; avoid comma splices
10
+ - **Apostrophes:** Use for possessives and contractions; don't use for plurals
11
+ - **Dashes:** Use en dash for ranges (40–60); use em dash sparingly for a break in a sentence
12
+ - **Hyphens:** Use in compound modifiers before a noun (e.g. well-known); follow standard compound rules
13
+ - **Exclamation points:** Use rarely; one is enough
14
+
15
+ ---
16
+
17
+ ## Commas
18
+
19
+ - Use a comma before "and" or "or" in a list of three or more items (Oxford comma) for clarity when it avoids ambiguity
20
+ - Use commas to set off non-essential clauses
21
+ - Don't join two independent clauses with only a comma (use a full stop, semicolon, or conjunction)
22
+
23
+ ---
24
+
25
+ ## Apostrophes
26
+
27
+ - **Possessives:** Add 's for singular (team's, user's); add ' for plural already ending in s (users', teams')
28
+ - **Contractions:** Use for standard contractions (don't, it's, we're)
29
+ - **Plurals:** Do not use an apostrophe for plurals: "1990s" not "1990's"; "APIs" not "API's"
30
+
31
+ ---
32
+
33
+ ## Dashes and Hyphens
34
+
35
+ - **En dash (–):** Use for ranges (40–60%, March–May, 9–5). Use unspaced in British style.
36
+ - **Em dash (—):** Use sparingly for a strong break or aside. Prefer one em dash per sentence.
37
+ - **Hyphen (-):** Use in compound modifiers before a noun: "well-known result", "up-to-date report". Don't hyphenate after the noun when the modifier follows: "the result is well known".
38
+ - **Hyphen in compounds:** Follow standard usage (e.g. "email", "multi-factor", "read-only" as per common style)
39
+
40
+ ---
41
+
42
+ ## Colons and Semicolons
43
+
44
+ - **Colon:** Use to introduce a list or an explanation that follows from the main clause. One space after a colon.
45
+ - **Semicolon:** Use to link closely related independent clauses, or to separate list items that already contain commas. Use sparingly; often a full stop is clearer.
46
+
47
+ ---
48
+
49
+ ## Ellipses
50
+
51
+ - Use for omitted words in a quote (three dots: …)
52
+ - Avoid in UI or body copy to indicate "more" or trailing thought; rewrite so the sentence is complete
53
+
54
+ ---
55
+
56
+ ## Exclamation Points
57
+
58
+ - Use rarely; reserve for genuine emphasis or short, positive confirmation
59
+ - One exclamation point is enough; never use multiple (!!)
60
+
61
+ ---
62
+
63
+ ## Quotation Marks
64
+
65
+ - Use double quotation marks for direct speech and short quoted phrases
66
+ - Put full stops and commas inside the closing quote when they apply to the quoted matter; outside when they apply to the whole sentence (British style)
67
+ - For terms or "scare quotes", use sparingly

+ ## Content Principles
60

+ ### 1. Audience-First Thinking
62
+
63
+ Before creating content, define:
64
+ - The specific aim
65
+ - The target audience
66
+ - How it helps the audience achieve their goals

+ - What question it answers
68

+ - Clever wordplay that obscures meaning
78
+ - Jokes that might confuse
79
+ - Metaphors that require explanation
80
+ - Industry jargon without context
81
+
82
+ ### 3. Be Clear and Concise
83
+
84
+ - Use plain English where possible
85
+ - Don't use 10 words when 3 will do
86
+ - Avoid jargon-laden complexity
87
+ - Give yourself the best chance of being read and understood
88
+
89
+ ### 4. Consistency Matters
90
+
91
+ - Use the same terms for the same concepts
92
+ - Follow established patterns
93
+ - Maintain consistent tone
94
+ - Set clear expectations
95
+
96
+ ### 5. Test, Iterate and Learn
97
+
98
+ Test new content, improve based on feedback, share learnings across the team.

+ # Writing Style
2
+
3
+ Style and usage principles for Equal Experts content. Be clear, precise, and conversational.
4
+
5
+ ---
6
+
7
+ ## Quick Reference
8
+
9
+ **Do:**
10
+ - Use active voice
11
+ - Use everyday contractions (we're, it's, don't)
12
+ - Use simple verb tenses (present, past; avoid unnecessary future or perfect)
13
+ - Address the reader as "you"
14
+ - Prefer short sentences
15
+
16
+ **Don't:**
17
+ - Use passive voice when active is clearer
18
+ - Use formal or stiff phrasing
19
+ - Over-qualify with "in order to", "in the event that"
20
+ - Use jargon without explanation
21
+
22
+ ---
23
+
24
+ ## Active Voice
25
+
26
+ Prefer the subject doing the action. It's clearer and more direct.
27
+
28
+ | Prefer | Avoid |
29
+ |--------|--------|
30
+ | The team delivered the project on time | The project was delivered on time by the team |
31
+ | You can save your work here | Work can be saved here |
32
+ | We recommend testing first | It is recommended that testing be performed first |
33
+
34
+ Use passive only when the actor is unknown or irrelevant, or when you want to emphasise the action.
35
+
36
+ ---
37
+
38
+ ## Plain Language
39
+
40
+ - Use common words instead of formal or obscure ones
41
+ - Prefer short words where they carry the same meaning
42
+ - Explain technical terms on first use
43
+
44
+ | Prefer | Avoid |
45
+ |--------|--------|
46
+ | use | utilise |
47
+ | help | facilitate |
48
+ | about | with regard to |
49
+ | if | in the event that |
50
+ | before | prior to (when "before" works) |
51
+
52
+ ---
53
+
54
+ ## Contractions
55
+
56
+ Use everyday contractions so content sounds natural and approachable.
57
+
58
+ - we're, it's, don't, can't, you'll, that's
59
+ - Avoid overly formal "we have not", "do not" in body copy unless tone requires it (e.g. legal, formal notices)
60
+
61
+ ---
62
+
63
+ ## Verb Tenses
64
+
65
+ - Use **present** for general truth and instructions: "The dashboard shows recent activity."
66
+ - Use **past** for what happened: "The deployment completed successfully."
67
+ - Use **future** only when necessary: "You will receive a confirmation email."
68
+ - Avoid unnecessary perfect tenses when simple past or present is clearer.
69
+
70
+ ---
71
+
72
+ ## Conciseness
73
+
74
+ - Cut filler: "Please note that" → often delete; "at this time" → "now" or "currently"
75
+ - One main idea per sentence where possible
76
+ - Start with the most important information
77
+
78
+ ---
79
+
80
+ ## Addressing the Reader
81
+
82
+ - Speak to the reader as **"you"**
83
+ - Use **"we"** for Equal Experts when it's clear from context
84
+ - Keep "my" vs "your" consistent with the product (e.g. "your account" in product UI)

1
+ # Border Rules
2
+
3
+ Border specifications for Equal Experts. This document defines border philosophy, widths, radius, and usage guidelines.
4
+
5
+ ---
6
+
7
+ ## Overview
8
+
9
+ The design system follows a **minimal border philosophy** - borders should only be used when necessary. Prefer spacing and visual hierarchy over borders.
10
+
11
+ **Key Principle:** Use borders sparingly and purposefully. Spacing and visual hierarchy should be the primary tools for creating separation.
12
+
13
+ ---
14
+
15
+ ## When to Use Borders
16
+
17
+ ### Use Borders For:
18
+
19
+ 1. **Creating separation** between distinct sections needing clear boundaries
20
+ 2. **Distinguishing interactive elements** from static content
21
+ 3. **Defining component boundaries** where spacing alone is insufficient
22
+ 4. **Indicating state changes** (focus states, error states, selection)
23
+
24
+ ### Avoid Borders When:
25
+
26
+ - Spacing alone can create sufficient separation
27
+ - Visual hierarchy (size, color, weight) can distinguish elements
28
+ - The border would create visual clutter
29
+ - Separation is already clear through other design elements
30
+
31
+ ---
32
+
33
+ ## Border Width
34
+
35
+ Borders should be **1-4px** in width:
36
+
37
+ | Width | Usage |
38
+ |-------|-------|
39
+ | 1px | Default for most elements (cards, dividers) |
40
+ | 2px | Emphasized borders, active states |
41
+ | 3-4px | Focus indicators, high-contrast separations |
42
+
43
+ ---
44
+
45
+ ## Border Style
46
+
47
+ **Always use solid lines.**
48
+
49
+ The design system does not use:
50
+ - Dashed borders
51
+ - Dotted borders
52
+ - Other border styles
53
+
54
+ ---
55
+
56
+ ## Border Color
57
+
58
+ Use brand-appropriate colors:
59
+
60
+ | Usage | Color |
61
+ |-------|-------|
62
+ | Default borders | Light gray (slate-200 light, slate-700 dark) |
63
+ | Focus indicators | EE Blue or appropriate focus color |
64
+ | Error states | Red/destructive color |
65
+ | Success states | Transform Teal |
66
+
67
+ ---
68
+
69
+ ## Border Radius
70
+
71
+ The design system uses a **minimal radius approach**:
72
+
73
+ ### Default: 0px (No Radius)
74
+
75
+ Most elements have **no border radius** by default for a clean, modern, geometric aesthetic.
76
+
77
+ **Elements with no radius:**
78
+ - Static containers
79
+ - Sections
80
+ - Dividers
81
+ - Content blocks
82
+
83
+ ### Interactive Elements: 6px
84
+
85
+ **Interactive elements** use **6px border radius**:
86
+
87
+ - Buttons
88
+ - Clickable cards
89
+ - Interactive tiles
90
+ - Tabs
91
+
92
+ ### Form Inputs: 4px
93
+
94
+ **Form input elements** use **4px border radius**:
95
+
96
+ - Text inputs
97
+ - Textareas
98
+ - Select dropdowns
99
+ - Search inputs
100
+
101
+ ### Summary
102
+
103
+ | Element Type | Border Radius |
104
+ |--------------|---------------|
105
+ | Static content | 0px |
106
+ | Interactive elements | 6px |
107
+ | Form inputs | 4px |
108
+
109
+ ---
110
+
111
+ ## Accessibility
112
+
113
+ ### Contrast Requirements
114
+
115
+ Borders must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA for graphical objects:
116
+
117
+ - **Minimum contrast ratio:** 3:1 against adjacent colors
118
+
119
+ ### Testing
120
+
121
+ - Test borders against background colors
122
+ - Verify visibility in both light and dark contexts
123
+ - Ensure sufficient contrast for all users
124
+
125
+ ---
126
+
127
+ ## Usage Guidelines
128
+
129
+ ### Do's
130
+
131
+ 1. **Use borders purposefully** - Only when spacing is insufficient
132
+ 2. **Follow width guidelines** - 1px default, 2px emphasized, 3-4px focus
133
+ 3. **Apply radius correctly** - 0px static, 6px interactive, 4px inputs
134
+ 4. **Ensure accessibility** - 3:1 minimum contrast ratio
135
+ 5. **Be consistent** - Same border treatment for same element types
136
+
137
+ ### Don'ts
138
+
139
+ 1. **Don't overuse borders** - Spacing should be the first option
140
+ 2. **Don't use non-solid borders** - No dashed or dotted
141
+ 3. **Don't use arbitrary radius** - Only 0px, 4px, or 6px
142
+ 4. **Don't break accessibility** - Always verify contrast
143
+ 5. **Don't use decorative borders** - Keep them functional
144
