Logistics / Fit
■ Inherited systems
Existing platforms with undocumented flows, legacy constraints, unclear ownership, or product logic that has outgrown the original interface.
■ High-friction workflows
Processes where users, teams, permissions, approvals, handoffs, or edge cases create more risk than the visual design initially reveals.
■ Review-heavy decisions
Work that needs to hold up across product, engineering, executive, legal, support, customer, or compliance review without losing coherence.
■ System drift
Teams where components, tokens, documentation, and production behavior have started to separate.
■ AI-assisted review
Workflows where generated output needs human judgment, verification, QA, governance, or escalation before it can be trusted.
