Donation after circulatory death. Offered by a different route; more often cannot be used.
Name in plain words, jargon underlined with a one-line meaning on hoverThe UK-now mark on every control, and a Reset to UK nowOne sentence on what it is; never the formulaSensible range: wide enough to matter, no absurd ends
3 · OUTCOMES AS 100 PEOPLE

Counts, not percentages; one year after joining as the headline moment, two years one tap awayFour colours that also differ in lightness, so they survive limited colour vision and greyscale printingCareful words: "died or became too unwell for a transplant", never "died waiting"The UK figure beside each count, always, so the model is checkable at a glance
4 · THE DIFFERENCE, SAID ONCE
+6 transplanted−5 still waiting0 removed−1 died or too unwell
With 95 livers a month instead of 84, six more people in every 100 are transplanted within a year and one fewer dies or becomes too unwell. The same people and the same livers were used; only the supply changed. Nationally, roughly 55 more transplants a year.

Animation on demand. The outcome picture is the headline; the animated list you already have opens when someone wants to see the mechanism, and is the "In detail" layer.
UK nowThe UK as it is now is the anchor everywhere: the default state, a mark on every control, a figure beside every outcome, and the A in every comparison unless the person pins another.
