## When to use

ServicesSection is a services grid: icon-led service cards with title/description copy, configurable columns and card variant, inside a section that carries an id and a donnyTarget. It was the homepage services band; ServicesLedger replaced it there, and it currently has no production consumer. For a case-study scope summary use ServicesBlock instead.

## When not to use

The contract records no forbidden uses.
