To maintain accessible visual tracking and institutional consistency, all news releases must adhere to these baseline rules:

*   **Left Alignment (Ragged Right):** All text must be left-aligned. Justified text is prohibited to prevent erratic spacing that disrupts reading flow.
*   **Case Sensitivity:** Title Case is mandatory for headlines and corporate entities. The use of all-caps blocks for names or locations is prohibited.
*   **Geographic Precision:** Provinces and states must be spelled out in full (e.g., "British Columbia" instead of "BC"). This prevents international jurisdictional ambiguity.

## 2. Institutional Print Standards

Physical news releases are intended to project institutional trust through a standardized "White Paper" aesthetic:
*   **Header:** Bold, Title Case.
*   **Dateline:** Separated from the narrative by an en-dash (–) or em-dash (—).
*   **Mandatory Structure:**
    **For Immediate Release**
    **[Headline in Title Case]**
    **Vancouver, British Columbia – [Date] –** [Narrative body copy...]

 **[Headline in Title Case]**
 **Vancouver, British Columbia – [Date] –** [Narrative body copy...]

## 3. Digital Presentation Standards

Web-based releases utilize specific semantic tags and separators to ensure high-density readability:
*   **Semantic Hierarchy:** Use H2 for the release category (e.g., "Operational Update") and H1 for the headline.
*   **Metadata Pipe:** Use a pipe symbol (|) to separate dateline elements on a dedicated metadata line.
*   **Structure:**
    **[Corporate Entity] — [Release Category]**
    **[Headline Title Case]**
    **For immediate release | Vancouver, British Columbia | [Date]**
* **Semantic Hierarchy:** Use H2 for the release category (e.g., "Operational Update") and H1 for the headline.
* **Metadata Pipe:** Use a pipe symbol (|) to separate dateline elements on a dedicated metadata line.
* **Structure:**
 **[Corporate Entity] — [Release Category]**
 **[Headline Title Case]**
 **For immediate release | Vancouver, British Columbia | [Date]**

These standards ensure that every Foundry disclosure maintains a consistent voice of authority, whether viewed on a high-DPI display or a physical printed page.
