The photograph is gone, so eight statements have the full width to themselves. Eight is the problem. In a single column they run to eight rows and the section becomes a scroll; the reader stops reading at about the fifth and the last line, which is the best one, is the one they never reach.
Two things to judge. Does the section still land emotionally without the picture? This is the payoff of the page and a tidy grid of ticks is efficient rather than moving. And does the layout respect what AISV actually wrote? Seven of the eight lines are operational and describe documents; the eighth begins "Most importantly" and is about how it feels. A layout that sets all eight identically is discarding an instruction the copywriter left in the text.
1Two columns of fourThe plain fix, and the one to beat. Nothing changes except that the eight statements run in two columns instead of one, so the section is roughly half as tall and the eye takes it in as a block rather than a scroll. Its weakness is that it treats all eight lines as equal, which the copy itself does not: seven of them are operational and the eighth begins "Most importantly".

2Seven, then the payoffThe seven operational statements sit in the two-column grid; the eighth is pulled out below a NIGHT rule and set at 29px light, with the tick enlarged and in DAY gold. This is the only board that reads the copy rather than just formatting it: AISV wrote "Most importantly" into the line, and every other layout throws that away. It also gives the section an emotional landing point, which is the one thing the photograph was contributing. My pick.

3The completed checklistThe eight statements sit inside a LAW cream panel under a small caps label, with dotted rules and DAY gold ticks, so the section reads as a document that has been filled in and signed off. It connects to the assessment: this is what the coverage ring looks like when every area is green. Weakness: a panel is a container, and containers read as an aside. This content is the payoff of the page and may not want to be boxed.

4Three columns, closing line in the last cellEight statements in three columns of three, with the closing paragraph occupying the empty ninth cell under a NIGHT rule, so the grid completes itself and nothing is left dangling. The most compact board here by a wide margin. Weakness: at three columns the statements drop to 17px and the longest one wraps to three lines, so the grid is visually ragged where the two-column boards are even.

5On NIGHTTwo columns of four, reversed out on the NIGHT ground with CONFIDENCE gold ticks. The section is the emotional peak of the page, and a dark band gives it weight that no amount of layout can. Weakness: the page already has a dark credential band and a dark closing call to action, so this would be the third, and the pale gradient here is currently the only place the hero ground reappears.

The completed checklist, badged
Board three with the corner badge the homepage already uses. It is not a new device: .qbadge is a 52px NIGHT disc hung at -18px on a cream .qpanel, and it appears twice on the page already, carrying a lightbulb at "You may be wondering" and a trophy at Built for Entrepreneurs. The page states the rule in its own comment: a warm panel with a corner badge means the reader is being addressed. This section is the clearest instance of that anywhere on the page, so the badge is the page being consistent rather than an ornament.
The icon here is a shield with a check, which is the section's argument in one mark and is distinct from the lightbulb and the trophy. The eyebrow reads With Equinox in place: so the panel has a spoken opening the way the other two do.
1The checklist panel, badgedBoard three exactly, plus the corner badge the page already uses on the section two and section nine panels. The page states its own rule in a comment there: a warm panel with a corner badge means the reader is being addressed, and this section is the clearest case of that on the whole page. The gold top rule from board three is kept.

2Badged, gold rule removedIdentical, minus the gold top border. The badge and the rule were doing the same job, which is marking the panel as significant, so one of them is redundant. This version matches .qpanel exactly as it appears elsewhere on the page, which means one panel component rather than two near-identical ones for the Kadence build.

3Badged, ticks back to tealThe same panel with the ticks returned to BUSINESS teal, the colour used for every other tick on the page. Worth seeing because gold ticks inside a gold-bordered cream panel is three golds in one component, and the badge now supplies the accent. If this reads as well as board one, the gold ticks were decoration rather than hierarchy.

4Badged panel, payoff outside itThe seven operational statements sit inside the badged panel; the eighth is lifted out below it at 29px light on a NIGHT rule. This is boards two and three combined, and it resolves the objection to board three: the panel contains the inventory, which is what a panel is good for, and the emotional line is not boxed in with it.
