nswrentview — design finalists

A rental-data tool for NSW tenants: it shows what comparable properties actually rent for. These are visual-direction candidates, not final page layouts — each renders the same required scenarios with real June 2026 bond-lodgement data. View at phone width first.

Two versions of each. Round 2 is the judged finalist. Round 3 is the approachability experiment from reviewer feedback: it adds an "entry view" — one number and one plain sentence first, with quartiles, charts and history each behind a labelled step — and plain-word-first labels throughout. Same data, same rules; what changed is the sequencing.

• C1 — ABS statistical release
  Signature: the graduated instrument — the dollar scale's ticks coarsen as the sample thins; no sample, no graduation.

• C3 — Broadsheet data journalism
  Signature: the lodgement tally — one ruled mark per bond lodged; five bonds is five marks you count by eye.

• C6 — Statistical almanac
  Signature: the footnote apparatus — every statistic closes in a ruled note bar opening to its full provenance record. Round 3 opens with a "reader's guide".

• C7 — Monochrome + one accent
  Signature: the ruled accounting footing — no number can be set without a footing; totals close over a double rule. Round 3: every opened step arrives already footed.

• C8 — Uncertainty-first
  Signature: evidence-tier rules — the rule under a figure gives up ink as the evidence thins; a figure you typed carries no rule at all.
