Intent

Keep reference-led work specific to the target product and prevent a redesign from reading as another product with substituted copy.

Checks

  • Name the traits retained from each reference and identify at least two structural decisions derived from the target product.
  • Compare thumbnail silhouettes and redesign when the shell, navigation geometry, hero structure, and accent placement still match one source as a set.

Warnings

  • Changing colors and copy does not create a distinct system when the page silhouette and chrome remain recognizable.

Exceptions

  • Direct reproduction is valid only when the user owns the source and explicitly requests faithful implementation.
