   OPTINEXT — About Page: Cinematic Edition
   Builds entirely on the existing design tokens in style.css
   (--c-dark, --c-charcoal, --c-accent, --f-primary/secondary/display).
   Signature motif: the "Growth Engine" node — a small cluster of glass
   cards (Website / Software / Marketing / AI / Automation) orbiting a
   central node with connecting lines. It appears full-size in the hero
   and echoes, smaller, in the Ecosystem section — one idea, used twice,
   not scattered 3D everywhere.
