/**
 * smefinancing-usecase.css – dedicated design for the /smefinancing/* use-case
 * landing pages (working-capital, invoice-financing, mycif, bank-loan-rejected).
 *
 * These are focused, citation-first GEO answer pages and must read as their OWN
 * page type — NOT a clone of the /smefinancing marketing page. So this file
 * ships a full, self-contained layout (gradient hero, quick-fact chips, a
 * numbers strip, a narrow reading column, a no-JS FAQ accordion and a navy CTA
 * band) built entirely from the shared tokens (tokens.css). Dark-mode aware.
 * It does NOT depend on smefinancing.css.
