Core principles

Principles hold; implementations change. RTL mirroring, culturally familiar metaphors, and concise Arabic microcopy are how principles show up in KSA apps.

From principle to critique

Use principles as a review checklist in design critiques. If a screen violates several, fix before engineering.
