Our coral sat 9° from our error red. We fixed color by measuring, not feeling.
A user told us twice the colors were too similar. The first fix over-corrected — every category chip went gray, and uniform is not the same as clear. The second fix put a number on it: our brand coral lives at hue 9°, our error red at 0°. Nine degrees apart, same lightness. You don't argue with 9°. You move.

Drop a case onto a plan — the target appears only while you drag
Grab a test case from the Library tree, drag it down, and a drop strip materializes at the bottom of the screen — listing only the plans that can actually accept the case. Zero idle pixels, no closed ledgers reopened by accident.

Reviewing dozens of pending cases without losing your place
Approving AI-generated test cases used to mean a modal that opened, then closed, then dropped you back at the top of the list. We rebuilt review as a persistent three-zone workspace where context never resets.
