The first chapter started as an alignment exercise: understand where duplication hurts delivery speed, and where teams still need controlled flexibility.
Problem framing
We audited product surfaces and found repeated interaction patterns that looked similar but behaved differently under edge cases. This created implementation drift, support overhead, and inconsistent accessibility quality.
Adoption confidence
46
current state: organized
Tactical move
Instead of jumping to components first, we built a decision framework around:
- semantic intent
- behavioral contract
- accessibility baseline
- implementation ownership
Progression
1/4
Inventory all production patterns by behavior and variant.
Outcome
The first milestone was not visual consistency.
The milestone was decision consistency, which then enabled component
consistency.
