How to tell AI
This is a read-only details view. Please use a description list layout: show each field as "Label: value" in a two- or three-column grid, with labels in light gray and values in the body text color. Group the fields by what they mean for the business and give each group a heading. Don't use input boxes to show read-only data. Put an "Edit" button in the top right.
