Design

Visual direction under constraints; do not treat the first AI draft as truth.

Produces
Direction, the design system this product needs, hi-fi critical journeys
Gate
Every divergence from the AI direction is recorded

Purpose

System before surface. Generate several directions and select.

What happens

Constrain with values, not adjectives. Build only the system this week’s product requires. Apply it to the critical journeys.

Skip

Do not start visual direction on Monday. Do not build a component library for an imaginary future.
