   ONTARIO BUSINESS STUDIES ONLINE TUITION — PREMIUM STYLESHEET
   Concept: "The Pitch Deck" — a clean, confident corporate-deck identity:
   crisp paper, deep navy ink, a coral "growth" accent, a slide-deck dot
   grid, and a hero built around a radar/opportunity-scan graphic with a
   sweeping line that rotates continuously. Built to sit apart from the
   other subject pages on this site (Biology's herbarium paper, Chemistry's
   lab bench, Science's graph-paper orbit identity, Economics' ledger) —
   this one reads as a modern business plan, not a notebook.

   SCOPING NOTE
   Every rule is anchored to this page's own markup via
   [class*="ontario-business-studies-"] (section wrappers) or the shared
   component suffixes already in the HTML — [class$="-grid"],
   [class$="-card"], .section-note, .eyebrow, .btn — plus the one-off
   classes that don't follow the suffix pattern (.step-number, .faq-item).
   The native <details>/<summary> FAQ markup is scoped under
   .ontario-business-studies-faq. Alternating section backgrounds are
   assigned by explicit class name, never by :nth-of-type. No HTML changes
   required.

   MOTION
   The hero's radar graphic — a faint circle with a coral sweep line and a
   few "opportunity" blips — rotates slowly and continuously, standing in
   for scanning the market for opportunities. Respects
   prefers-reduced-motion.
