Score blast radius per action
Blast radius combines whether the action is destructive with how many items can be affected at once — a destructive action on thousands of rows is treated very differently from a non-destructive one on a handful.

How it works
Recommend a safety pattern
High blast-radius actions get a review step showing exactly what will be affected before committing, plus an undo window if the action is destructive; low blast-radius actions can proceed with a lighter confirm.
Flag missing selection-count visibility
Every bulk action should show the user exactly how many items are currently selected before they commit — this is flagged as a baseline requirement regardless of risk level.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need "select all across all pages" for every bulk action?
Only add it if users realistically need to act on more items than fit on one page — otherwise, page-level selection is simpler and safer, since cross-page selection increases the chance of an unintended mass action.
What's an undo window and when do I need one?
A time-limited ability to reverse a bulk action (e.g. "Undo" toast for 10 seconds, or a 24-hour soft-delete). It's recommended for any bulk action marked destructive, especially at higher selectable counts.
Should bulk actions always show a preview before committing?
For high blast-radius actions, yes — showing "This will affect 342 records" before the final click meaningfully reduces costly mistakes.
How is this different from ConfirmUX?
BulkAction UX is scoped to the selection-and-execute pattern for acting on many items at once; ConfirmUX covers confirmation patterns for any destructive action, single or bulk.

MVPHub scores your bulk actions' actual blast radius. Using one confirmation pattern everywhere, or a generic template, risks under-protecting your riskiest bulk action or over-friction on a safe one.
