What this hub is
Architect-facing, data-first. No marketing prose, no rewrites of Bona's claims. Every product page is built from a structured JSON spec file with source PDFs cited at the row level so you can verify any figure before it hits a drawing set.
Specification paragraphs are drawn from Bona's own Specifier Paragraph PDFs. Where a value is not yet published by Bona, it is rendered as — with a data-pending note — so gaps are visible.
