Use at the top of multi-step product or process pages to orient the user and provide jump-links to each stage. Steps are numbered sequentially; arrows are decorative separators only. Never omit step numbers — they carry the ordinal meaning.

UsageResearch / benchmark / curated link-list pages
Usage

Use on research, benchmark, and curated link-list pages. The four-level nesting creates a layered depth effect with no JavaScript. Always use exactly four levels: three outer wrappers plus the innermost ._bofinal. The arrow icon is hidden on touch devices; the full row remains clickable regardless.
