Tier 5 — Patterns

Patterns for important workflows

Patterns are reusable behaviours, not just arrangements: a wizard, a review queue, a cockpit, a commandable workspace. This is the exploration room for the interfaces that matter most.

Every exploration on this page keeps the same paper tokens, ruled spacing, type scale, and action hierarchy as the rest of the manual.

A multi-step workflow for high-stakes response preparation.
