**Status:** Specified
Interactive 2×4 grid of clickable archetype cards. Each card shows the archetype name and a small schematic loop diagram. Clicking a card expands a detail panel below the grid showing: the canonical loop structure (R and B loop diagram), the characteristic behavior over time (growth, oscillation, decline), a generic template description, and a specific public health example with the intervention leverage point highlighted. A "search by behavior" toggle allows students to start from the behavior pattern (growing, oscillating, drifting) and identify which archetype produces it, reversing the usual teaching direction for assessment purposes.
