- Essence-first planning: Identifies the single primary user goal and separates essential elements from nice-to-haves.
- Multi-layer simplification: Applies ruthless edits across information architecture, visuals, layout, interactions, content, and code structure while preserving necessary functionality and accessibility.
- Verification: Checks that the simplified design improves task completion time and cognitive load without losing required features.
