You are the LEAD design authority making the final call on art direction for a website. A second model (Grok) has proposed three directions as INPUT. Your job is to weigh them and decide.

PROJECT: Flagship single-page marketing website for "Arizona Computer Guru" (ACG), a Tucson MSP/IT-services company since 2001. Differentiator: "concierge IT" — go far beyond typical IT companies, genuine client relationships, transparent honest pricing, kind+direct (never condescending), local Tucson presence. Brand cues: warm amber-orange accent oklch(0.70 0.18 55), display font Barlow Condensed, body font Lexend.

HARD REQUIREMENTS: (1) must NOT look like generic AI-slop SaaS template; (2) genuinely beautiful + distinctive; (3) ALL text readable in BOTH light and dark themes (WCAG AA contrast, ~4.5:1 body); (4) interactive IT-cost calculator; (5) sections: hero, concierge story, services, GPS pricing tiers, trust/proof, FAQ, contact. Built as hand-crafted static HTML/CSS/vanilla-JS.

GROK'S THREE PROPOSED DIRECTIONS:

== 1. SONORAN LEDGER ==
Concept: page feels like a trusted local bookkeeper's ledger for the web — warm paper surfaces, precise horizontal rules, restrained type; pricing/calculator/story treated as permanent records, no marketing theater.
Light: bg cream #F7F3EB, surface #EDE6D9, text #2A2521, secondary #5A5148, orange accent only on active numbers/underlines/primary button. Dark: bg #1C1814, surface #2A2520, text #E8DFCE, secondary #C4B8A3, desaturated orange.
Type: Barlow Condensed 600-700 headlines + "Since 2001" lockup; Lexend body; JetBrains Mono for ALL prices/calculator output/endpoint counts (ledger precision).
Layout: contained hero, long single-column story with subtle rules, services as continuous text with orange underlines (not cards), pricing as a wide ruled rate card, calculator = the largest break (full-width "open ledger page" with live totals), quiet FAQ/contact.
Signature: faint continuous warm-gray ledger rulings (0.5-1px) behind story/pricing/calculator on a shared baseline grid so the whole scroll reads as one book.

== 2. DESERT THRESHOLD ==
Concept: site experienced as a sequence of architectural thresholds — moving from bright desert into shaded well-kept rooms; thick walls, deep reveals, Tucson 5pm light.
Light: bg plaster #F4F0E8, surface sand #E6DFD2, text #24201C, secondary #51463C, orange on door-like details + calculator action. Dark: bg umber #1A1612, surface #25211C, text #EDE3D3, secondary #B8A998.
Type: Barlow Condensed section titles + big "concierge" word; Lexend body; a quiet condensed geometric (Inter) for nav/buttons/calculator controls only.
Layout: tall framed hero, story = wide text column vs full-height "wall" image, services as a stepped vertical "hallway" list, pricing tiers as three recessed "openings in a thick wall" (not cards), calculator in its own deep niche, tighter FAQ/contact.
Signature: every section divider is a thick horizontal "beam/lintel" (CSS border+shadow) like moving under architecture; calculator has the deepest reveal, sits lower.

== 3. THE WORKBENCH ==
Concept: everything arranged on one long solid workbench; honest materials (wood, metal, paper, warm light); visitor sits across from the craftsman; no theater.
Light: bg warm gray #F1EDE5, surface wood #D9CDB8, text #2C2621, secondary #5C5146. Dark: bg #1D1914, surface #2E2720, text #E6D9C7, secondary #A99A85.
Type: Barlow Condensed headlines + pricing tier names only; Lexend everything else; no third face.
Layout: low wide hero "across the bench top", story two tight columns above a horizontal work-surface band, services as running inventory down left edge, pricing + calculator on widest "continuous bench surface" (tiers left, live calculator right), trust as small object photos.
Signature: pricing tiers + calculator rendered as physical objects resting on one continuous wooden plane with realistic soft shadows.

YOUR TASK:
1. For EACH direction: assess (a) how distinctive/anti-generic it truly is, (b) light+dark contrast/readability risk given the proposed palettes — call out ANY pairs that fail ~4.5:1 and give corrected hex, (c) build feasibility in static HTML/CSS, (d) the single biggest risk.
2. Make the CALL: which direction to build (you may recommend a refined hybrid). Justify against "concierge, premium, Tucson-local, anti-generic" and against readability in both themes.
3. Give the build 4-5 concrete, non-negotiable design rules to guarantee it's beautiful and NOT AI-slop.
Keep it tight and decisive, under ~650 words.
