When to use it
- ✓To explain a brand or product strategy.
- ✓To present a business plan clearly.
- ✓To organize and communicate complex ideas visually.

Golden Circle Diagram · 黄金圆环图解
Produce a single-file, one-diagram concept deck. You are visualizing a
methodology the way Simon Sinek drew the Golden Circle on a TED flip chart:
one geometric master figure carries the entire argument, and every page is
that figure seen from a different angle. The visual system, canvas contract,
and navigation runtime are locked by example.html. Start from
example.html, replace content only — do not rewrite the design or the
script. Do not introduce any color or font outside this spec.

- Fonts come from the single existing Google Fonts
@import(Jost 400–700 + Manrope 400–800); Chinese falls back to PingFang SC / Microsoft YaHei. No other@import, no CDN scripts, no icon fonts. --tint-2/--tint-3are tints of the accent, not second colors. A second accent hue is the cardinal sin of this style.
THE master figure (the deck's entire visual vocabulary)
The .gc component — nested concentric circles, pure border-radius: 50%
divs — is the only diagram in the deck. Keep its geometry verbatim:
.gc { --gc: <size>px }sets the diameter; rings atinset: 0(WHAT,--tint-3),inset: 16%(HOW,--tint-2),inset: 33%(WHY, solid--accent, flex-centered core label).- Uppercase labels (
.lbl, Jost 600,letter-spacing: .35em) are embedded inside the bands: WHAT centered at 8% height, HOW at 24.5%, WHY in the core atcalc(var(--gc) * 0.085)in--paperwhite. - Locked modes — these are the full enumeration, do not invent new ones:
- default: golden fill (cover, master page, the "right way" comparison);
.mode-how/.mode-what: target band--accent(its label--paper), other bands--neutral-3/--paper;.mode-grey: all-neutral counter-example (core--muted);.mode-outline: transparent rings with 2px--accentstrokes — dark closing page only.
- Derivatives allowed: the solid accent disc (
.why-disc, the WHY page's zoomed core), faint watermark rings (1px accent border, opacity ≤ 0.3, may bleed off-canvas), mini three-circle inline-SVG glyphs (36px, one band accented to mark a section), and inside-out arrows (inline SVG: dot at the

FAQ
What is the 'Golden Circle'?
It's a model by Simon Sinek that helps explain the purpose (Why) behind an action, how it's done (How), and the result (What).
Can I change the colors and fonts?
No, the design is fixed to maintain clarity and focus on content, using a specific color scheme and predefined fonts.
How many pages will the presentation have?
The presentation is built around a single main diagram, with dedicated pages for each part (Why, How, What) and others for navigation and details.
