   ALFATH MEDIA - INTELLIGENCE PAGE (NEW DESIGN)
   A "command centre" take on the Intelligence page: one dark surface, brand
   blue / purple / magenta used as light, Bebas Neue headlines.
   Every class starts with .ix- so nothing leaks into the shared header,
   footer or CMS widgets. Motion lives in assets/js/intelligence-new.js.
