Principles

  1. One primary action per screen.
    It's the only orange thing. Everything else is secondary.
  2. Money is exact and aligned.
    Tabular figures, cents stored as integers, signs shown for credits.
  3. Status is words plus color.
    Never color alone — the office prints and screenshots a lot.
  4. Dense in the office, calm in the portal.
    Staff scan tables all day; rebbeim visit a few times a season.
  5. No decoration for its own sake.
    No gradients in the app, no emoji, no stock illustrations.
  6. Every action says what it will do.
    "Charge $57.38 to Visa •• 4652", not "Submit".
