Approach B — Segment list first

Type the dates. Table-driven, contract-friendly, best when the cadence is precise or you're a power user.

Validation

✓ No overlapping segments
✓ All gaps positive integers
⚠ 3 months uncovered (Oct–Dec) — no breaches will fire in those months

Strengths

Precise — exact day boundaries, copy/paste, CSV-friendly.
Familiar shape (any data-entry user gets it immediately).
Cheapest to build and most accessible (keyboard-driven).

Tradeoffs

The visual story (the ribbon) is secondary — easier to ship a template you didn't mean to.
Seasonal patterns feel like a chore here vs. natural in the calendar-grid approach.
Risk of "row anxiety" — managers staring at gap-day numbers without context.
