Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Browse by category | Choose browse by category when the primary task is exploratory recognition: users know the area but not the exact item name or query. | Activating a category navigates to a category view or expands a category hierarchy, not a filter chip on an unrelated result set. | GOV.UK content guidance documents topics, subtopics, mainstream browse pages, and user-need-driven grouping. |
