The three-column feature grid reflex

Forbidden
Icon-in-rounded-square + heading + two lines, three across, for any set of three things
Instead
Let the content pick the layout. Three items of unequal weight are a list, not a grid.

Why this rule

The same reflex at any count. Six or nine cards, each an icon, a title and a line, identical in size and shape, give every point the same weight whether it deserves it or not, and make the titles the only thing a reader can tell apart, so they skim all of them and remember none. When one point matters most, make it bigger, put it first, or give it the space the others do not get. Group related ones; drop the ones that are filler.
