Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Card grid | Choose card grid when users need to see multiple objects at once and visual preview or compact card identity helps them choose. | Each card represents one object and keeps title, preview, key metadata, state, and actions in the same relative positions across cards. | Supports card content and actions around one topic with scan-friendly summaries. |
| Card list | Choose card list when each item needs more context, imagery, or mixed metadata than a dense row can comfortably show. | Each card represents one object or concept and exposes one primary identity that stays visible across all states. | Material cards guidance supports single-topic card content, actions, and scannable actionable information. |
