Recipe notes
A left column of equal-height black-and-white alternating page cards steps forward in scroll, while the right side has a serif large word relaying in place (noun constant + verb rotating) — the column scrolls exactly one step at the instant the word swaps, and the word block's vertical center precisely aligns with the current page card's midpoint
When to use it
"One subject × multiple capabilities" enumeration segments (Computer researches/builds/codes…); portfolio/case-flow showcases; multi-scenario product tours
Intent
The left is evidence (page-screenshot filmstrip), the right is the thesis (large word): each time the verb swaps, the filmstrip steps one frame forward with new evidence — text and image annotate each other. The linchpin is **stepping**: the left column is completely still normally, scrolling exactly one step only at the swap instant (scroll = the mechanical act of changing evidence); continuous scrolling demotes the left column to background decoration and strips the "click" from the swap. The second linchpin is **alignment**: the large word block's vertical center must align precisely with the current page card's midpoint (pixel-level); off-center and the whole layout's "editorial rigor" collapses.
