Constraints

Flow Principles

• MUST ensure the user can answer at any point: where am I, where did I come from, what happens next?
• MUST use the minimum number of steps for the complexity of the action. Not zero steps. The right number.
• MUST design error recovery as part of the flow, not an afterthought
• SHOULD prefer undo over confirmation ("Action completed. Undo?" beats "Are you sure?")
