Identity experiments for review

These local V4 interpretations follow the selected direction. Current review uses include the job map on Product, the drift illustration on See, the operations illustration on Operations and the composition guide in the own site case study. Final visual review remains open.

Operational state specimens. These are distinct from audit-score bands.

Health-band reference. These are thresholds, not measured results.

Tightly woven 90–100

Holding together 75–89

Taking shape 60–74

Loose threads 0–59

Break and repair

Eight frames hold the boundary, bring the threads together, expose a break and rejoin the form. Pause the sequence or choose any frame to examine the join.

Logo assembly

Separate pieces find their corners and join into one woven form.

6 / 6 · Complete the lockup

From fragments to a system

The hero loop moves scattered elements into shared relationships and a clear boundary.

See the drift

Small shifts become visible against a common rule. Review brings the pieces back into alignment.

Route the work

A question follows a rule to the person who reviews it. The decision is recorded.

Four connected jobs

The four jobs connect what exists with the structure, decisions and routine work that keep a system useful.

The actual atomic layers

Each level below links to a real element in Loom Site. The website is itself a consumer of this system: changes belong in reusable elements and their contracts before pages use them.

  1. Foundations

    The decisions that give the system its character and limits.

    The next level of your design system.

    Loom turns the system you have, or the one you are missing, into clear, governed decisions that your teams and your AI tools follow. Your product keeps its look. Your people stay in control, with expert help and agents doing the routine work.

Smaller elements compose into larger structures. Dependencies can skip levels: a template can use a button directly. These are composition levels, separate from organisation and brand inheritance.

Actual composition dependencies

A separate model: the operating sequence

The source field guide also describes five stages of work. These describe how a decision becomes action; they are separate from component composition and brand inheritance.

  1. SignalObserve a specific need or discrepancy.
  2. PatternIdentify what recurs across those observations.
  3. DecisionRecord the chosen response and its reason.
  4. RuleDefine the constraint that future work follows.
  5. ActionApply the decision and check the outcome.

These illustrations explain ideas. The site's own case study and system library show the implementation evidence and remaining gaps.
