/* ================================================================
   FLEXBIZ ADVISORY — "THE LEDGER" DESIGN SYSTEM
   A cross-border finance & compliance advisory site spanning
   India · UAE · USA. The visual language borrows from a financial
   statement: disciplined rules, tabular numerals, a deep ink-teal
   instead of boardroom-black, and a single restrained gold accent
   that stands in for a wax seal / signature line. The signature
   motif is the "Global Desk" — a live three-city time readout in
   the header that makes the cross-border promise tangible.
