Patterns

The trust taxonomy

Color encodes where a claim came from, identically in the app, agent output, PDFs, and decks.

Every fact carries its source and freshness, disagreements show both sides, and percentiles stay cohort-relative with correct ordinals.

Agent progress

Deep research runs a named playbook, so progress reads as stages a human can follow, never raw tool-call spam.

Complex filters, one grammar

A twenty-option filter stays legible when every applied condition becomes a removable category-colored chip and natural language compiles to the same chips.

Metrics and credits

One hero number per view; supporting numbers stay in stat tiles, and consumption always shows its ceiling.

Dense tables

Twenty columns and a hundred rows stay workable when the identity column pins left, typed cells compress meaning, and density is user-controlled.

Locked is a preview

Gated content blurs in place instead of hiding, so a paywall shows the shape of what it holds.

Forms

One page with sections and a save bar beats a wizard: everything editable is visible at once, and the SaveBar only appears once something is dirty.

Garden ambient

The recipe for a living hero: an AnimatedContribGrid and a green GradientBackdrop layered behind the copy, both aria-hidden. Decorative only — it carries no meaning a screen reader needs, and it holds still under reduced motion.
