# CLIMBING concept #2 · The Rate Border
**Promise gestalt:** Your location is a primary factor in your auto insurance rate, and a major shift is creating new opportunities for savings depending on your state.
**Why it should win:** Directly leverages the powerful geo-relevance trigger of 'The State Lines' archetype. The clean, data-viz style feels authoritative and sparks immediate curiosity, compelling users to click to understand the map and see where their state falls. It transforms a complex idea (geographic rate differences) into a simple, visually engaging puzzle.
**Archetypes inherited (climbing):** The State Lines
**Anti-archetypes avoided (decaying):** The Clear Divide, Suburban Serenity, The Vague Human Element
**Climbing pool at generation:** 2 archetypes
**Decaying pool at generation:** 12 archetypes (excluded)

A clean, 3D render of the contiguous United States map, viewed from a slight angle. The states are extruded upwards like blocks. All states west of the Mississippi River are rendered in a matte gold color, while all states to the east are a deep matte blue. The background is a simple, light gray. There is no text, no logo, and no faces.
