/* ===========================================================================
   AI AUTOMATIONS (Specialisation / AI) — prefix "aa-"
   Visual language: "the automation control room" — deep navy plates with
   chamfered corners, hairline cyan circuits, dot-grid fields and live run
   feeds. Deliberately different from its siblings:
     · AI Integrations owns violet/magenta glass consoles
     · AI Solutions owns warm paper + machined metal and dial hardware
     · THIS page owns dark chamfered plates + cyan circuit hairlines
   Theme tokens (same family as the site):
     navy #080A2B · violet #7B2FF7 · magenta #B217BA · blue #2A7BFF
     · cyan #43D2E0 · gold #F0A400 · Afacad.

   Structure (8 interactive sections):
     1 .aa-hero      hero + live run board (canvas pipeline, toasts)
     2 .aa-ops       the week board (scrubber simulation)
     3 .aa-menu      automation menu (filter chips + expanding cards)
     4 .aa-loop      human-in-the-loop orbit (rotating checkpoints)
     5 .aa-ladder    maturity ladder (scroll-lit rungs)
     6 .aa-chart-sec the cost of waiting (interactive chart)
     7 .aa-myths     myth plates (flip)
     8 .aa-cta       outcome marquee + next steps

   All artwork is CSS/SVG/canvas only (the project ships no images here).
