Why This Guide Exists
Helping You Break Down Complex Software
While redesigning enterprise and B2B SaaS products, we repeatedly see the same challenge:
The software has too many features, screens, roles, workflows, permissions, and dependencies to understand at once.
So instead of starting with screens, we break the product down to its fundamentals.

First Principles Simplify the Complexity
Data
First Principles Simplify the Complexity
Data
Think About a Gym Tracking App
You enter: Workout type, Exercise, Weight, Reps, Sets
These are all data being added to the software.
The next time you work out, you look at your previous data and decide to increase the weight or reps.
So software is not just about storing data. We also take actions based on it.

The Core Software Pattern
Most Software Interactions Follow the Same Pattern
Users: Create Data, View Data, Modify Data, Act on Data
The software may become much more complicated, but this basic relationship remains the same.
