To fix a cluttered UI page, re-establish its primary intent and prioritize the single success action before proposing visual changes. This approach diagnoses root causes like mixed concerns and hidden primary actions instead of simply rearranging existing components.

Resolving confusing information architecture requires interrogating the page hierarchy and decision-flow first. By identifying priority conflicts and applying progressive disclosure, you can select what elements to remove or move to align with existing routing conventions.

Diagnosing weak visual hierarchy involves taking a convention snapshot of your current loaders and design system rules. This ensures proposed redesign decisions align with established project conventions rather than introducing conflicting styles.
