Review checklist.

What to check before traq material goes out.

Before returning brand, marketing, design or internal material, check:

  • Does it use the full relevant context: company, audience, values, beliefs, principles and voice?
  • Are unknown current values left blank and material interpretations labeled?
  • Does the audience and decision make sense for the current task?
  • Does the work reflect ownership, evidence, restraint and product-first thinking where relevant?
  • Is the voice precise, calm, deliberate, understated and concrete?
  • Does it use short sentences and named evidence rather than hype?
  • Are metrics, features, customer stories, hosting and commercial claims supported?
  • Does it distinguish internal principles from public claims?
  • Is traq lowercase, including headings and labels?
  • Is the original supplied logo preserved?
  • Are Clash Display and Clash Grotesk used in their documented roles?
  • Does purple carry identity, emerald action and gold active/live/pending status, with grey for paused states?
  • Is coloured text readable on its actual background, especially yellow on white?
  • Are line breaks meaningful and spacing free of clipping or overlap?
  • Are illustrative screens or values explicitly identified?
  • Are unapproved minimum sizes, gradients, icons, motion and print values kept at their actual status?
  • If the base pattern is used: is it the supplied tile in the surface's rule colour, fading out behind the content, with at most one filled symbol, placed on the lattice?
  • Does all small text reach 4.5:1, including quiet metadata and sequence numbers?
  • Do emerald buttons use black text, and does paused text match its light/dark background token?
