- “What requires my attention?”
- “Which items are worst?”
- “What changed since yesterday?”

Interaction: Use only interactions that support the page's next analytical step; typical next level: **Exception drillthrough**.
Navigation: Exception drillthrough
Implementation: Compose from the listed native visuals/controls and the standard interaction patterns in this guide; custom visuals are exceptions.
