Design System Adoption

All UI elements use system components — no one-off implementations.

Check

Every button, input, modal, toast, badge, and navigation element in production uses the design system component — not a one-off implementation. No hardcoded hex values outside the token file. No arbitrary spacing values. All component names match between Figma and code.

Why This Matters

A design system only delivers its ROI — speed, consistency, quality — when adoption is near 100%. Each one-off implementation is technical and design debt that re-introduces the inconsistency the system was built to solve.

How to Verify

Run a component audit: list every interactive element in 5 representative screens. For each, confirm it uses the system component. Flag any that use custom styles — these are adoption gaps to address.
