Evaluation Methodology

How the Diagnostic Engine Works

01. Spatial Density Setting

Select Compact or Spacious

Choose baseline spatial increment (4pt, 8pt, or fluid).

02. Auto-Layout Formula

Calculate Insets & Gaps

Produces proportional button, card, and grid spacing tokens.

03. Figma Variable Sync

Export JSON & Tokens

Import directly into Figma local variables and Tailwind CSS config.

Technical Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use an 8pt grid for digital UI?

The 8pt grid aligns with standard screen pixel densities and creates natural visual rhythm across typography, padding, and layout blocks.

How does nested container math prevent misalignment?

It calculates inner container padding and child radius so nested elements fit flush with zero optical distortion.
