Variation 2 — Command Strip Layout thesis: dense clinical workstation. The entire masthead collapses into a single horizontal command strip — title, stats, and the primary CTA in one scannable row. The quick-action row disappears entirely. Three equal columns replace the 3:2 grid. Critically, Requiring Attention moves to column 1 (the first thing eyes land on), Pending Approvals is centre, Notifications is right. Each column has a coloured top border signalling urgency at a glance.
