escalating panels

Three or four stacked slots where each one is more extreme than the one above. The stack asserts a direction: further down is further along, and the last rung is where the clever people are. That claim about direction is never argued, only drawn. Useful when the escalation is real and each rung genuinely subsumes the one before. Misleading when the rungs are just four options and you have quietly sorted them by how much you like them.

Example

Best when there is a genuine ladder where each step contains the one before it and going further is the point.
