   BALLADEX v6 — "Broadcast Futurism"
   A motion + hierarchy layer over home.css. Loaded after it, scoped to #bxproto.

   Fixes four structural problems in the v5 homepage:
     1. no tempo      — every band was the same silhouette on the same plate
     2. no hierarchy  — rank 1 looked exactly like rank 10
     3. no scroll     — the page was a static stack with a drifting nebula
     4. small numbers — in sport, the number IS the drama; let it be huge

   Everything here degrades: no JS = static but correct; reduced-motion = still.
   ========================================================================== */

   the wire it is legible, interactive, and survives on mobile.
