Visually nod to the search intent through abstract chart-like motifs only, but do not render that phrase as on-image text. All text MUST be written in English (array). Every heading, label, caption, legend and metric name in the image must be in English — not English. Spell each English word correctly using English characters and diacritics. Numbers stay as digits, no real company logos as recommendations, no watermarks No real company logos as endorsements. Illustrative salary numbers labeled as example. No discriminatory framing.
