TRIGGERS WHEN:
  - The slide has exactly 4 paragraphs
  - Each paragraph is short (≤8 words, ≤2 lines)
EFFECT:
  - 4 paragraphs are placed at top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right
  - Reads as a Z scan pattern across the slide

and look cramped at the corners. Use 3-6 word phrases per corner so
the slide actually breathes.
