- Cover the logo. Would people still recognise the screen as Marmot, or could it belong to any other product?
- Is burnt sienna on less than about 5% of the screen, and on no more than one thing per row?
- Could someone outside the data team understand every label and message?
- Is any piece of information shown twice, or any value editable in two places at once?
- Does any sentence depend on live numbers? Move the numbers into a tile, count or pill.
- Are there cards inside cards, icons in tinted circles, coloured stripes, glass, gradients or scroll animations?
- Do corner radii follow their roles (4px controls, 6px panels and buttons, 10px dialogs)?
- Are numbers right-aligned with even-width digits, and is monospace used only for text people copy?
- Does every status have a word or icon as well as a colour?
- Can you complete every task with the keyboard alone, and does a screen reader announce what changed?
- Does the dark theme (Peat) use its own palette, with no pure black or white?
- Is the sample data realistic ("orders_daily", "Jane Doe")?
- Is there one bold idea on the screen, not several? If in doubt, remove something.
