Detailed visual description
The ladder begins with a defined market boundary, chooses a provisional structure benchmark, specifies substitution, entry, interdependence, or power mechanisms, triangulates empirical evidence, reconciles accounting records to economic variables, and only then applies current legal authority and decision criteria. Every row lists claims that cannot yet be inferred.

Review notes
- Deterministic first pass; inspect desktop, narrow viewport, grayscale print, and adjacent explanatory text before acceptance.
- The rows deliberately prevent a jump from firm count, share, or margin to monopoly, agreement, harm, illegality, or remedy.
- The 780 by 724 preview and complete desktop lesson page were inspected on 2026-08-07; title hierarchy, row balance, line wrapping, contrast, card spacing, table rhythm, side navigation, and the long-form exit path were clean without clipping or overflow.
