How it works

1

Size the surface

Platform count and component scope determine how much consistency work the MVP needs.

2

Define foundations

The result selects a small token set for colour, type, spacing, radius and interaction states.

3

Calculate coverage

The score weighs accessibility, reusable component coverage and the risk introduced by multiple platforms.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a complete production design system?

No. It is a lean starting scope for an MVP. Add deeper documentation and component variants only when repeated product needs justify them.

How is the coverage score calculated?

Accessibility contributes up to 35 points, an appropriate component scope up to 35, a focused platform surface up to 20, and explicit density and tone choices 10.

How many components should an MVP system start with?

Often 8 to 18 reusable components cover the primary journey. The right number depends on workflow variety, not the number of screens.

Does this replace accessibility testing?

No. It identifies a baseline to implement; the actual interface still needs keyboard, contrast, semantic markup and assistive-technology checks.
