Variation 3 — Sequential Sections Layout thesis: one clear task at a time, top to bottom. Columns abolished entirely. Page narrows to 860px — a focused reading width. Large numbered step indicators anchor each section visually. Stats move from the masthead into section headers as contextual counts. CTAs live inside their relevant sections — no standalone quick-action row. Notifications collapse to a compact summary at the bottom. The trainer reads down: ① Attention Required → ② Pending Approvals → ③ Updates. Never ambiguous about priority.
