How to Fix
Introduce headings and subheadings with a larger font size and distinct color or style to delineate sections.
Issue Highlights
Provide Contextual Information to Inform User Location
Moderate
Lack of Orientation Context (Environment/Role/Location)
The Problem
Users lack clarity on their current position within the application, particularly regarding portfolio context and investment categories.
Why it Matters
