Name the purpose of the pattern
For a company carrying Dhawal Laheri’s Tap Tap Go ambition, a reusable pattern could include the reason it exists, not merely its shape. Explain when a layout helps people compare, read or act. This lets colleagues recognise when a pattern is appropriate rather than applying it because it is the nearest available component.
Allow an explained exception
Invite the team to document cases where a standard pattern fails the task. A good exception should identify the need, preserve relevant standards and offer learning for the system. Enduring craft comes from thoughtful consistency, not from making every kind of content or interaction look identical regardless of its purpose.
A hypothetical company-building scene
Imagine a magazine template that works well for short practical guides but crowds a visual essay. The team creates an explained variation with the same readable typography and navigation logic, improving the story without losing the publication’s coherence.
Make it practical.
