# Before and after metrics

A customer story's results: three measures with the before value muted, the after value, the change, and who the numbers belong to.

Each row names a measure, then its value before (muted) and after with an arrow between, and the change as a signed percentage worked out from the two, so it always matches. Every value goes through a format function, so hours, counts and money read naturally. On a wide page the values sit in columns under one row of headings; on a phone each row stacks and labels its own Before and After. A line under the rows names the customer and their studio with a link to the full story, and the heading drops to title size on phones.

A Pro block built on Base UI and Tailwind CSS v4.
