The Plain Numbers Method in action

Numbers themselves 

Combined the quarterly charges, removed the 4 decimal places and moved the calculations to the sidebar along with a link to read finer detail.

Numbers in context 

Talking ‘human to human’ and making the numbers relatable by providing context and comparators.

How we think 

No decisions are needed but seeking active engagement so introduced clearer headings to support ‘fast’ / System 1 thinking.
