Read Flow
Three category pages reached from the same seven-item masthead, in the order the nav lists them. Read them as one comparison: the shell is identical down to the type ramp, so everything that differs — how many rails there are, what the first rail is, whether a chronological feed exists at all — is a deliberate choice about what that section is for. The three pages run 16,415, 12,759 and 13,116 pixels; the reader who scrolls one of them to the end has passed between three and sixteen section rails before reaching anything dated.
Business — newsletters get the first four rails
The page opens exactly as the template says it should: masthead, a held ad band, the word Business in the display face, then a two-column hero with the lead story on the left and stacked runners-up on the right. Scroll past that and the section rails begin, and the first four are not topics. Backchannel, AI Lab, Model Behavior, Made in China — each rail heading is a link to /newsletter/exclusive/<name>, carrying sourceCode=Businesstagpage so the signup can be attributed back to this page. Only at the fifth rail does the page start naming subjects: Artificial Intelligence, Big Tech, Startups and Tech Culture, Social Media, Regulation, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency, Computers and Software, Retail and Logistics, Transportation, Energy. Fifteen rails, 79 story links, 16,415 pixels, and the rail called Latest is the last one before the Next Page control. A reader who came for today's business news scrolls the length of four newsletter pitches and ten subject rails to reach it.
