Worked example
Example: appointment rescheduling
- Same screen, different context, different priorities.
- Rescheduling is not only a calendar action.
- It may involve anxiety, fees, availability, and confirmation.
First pass
A returning patient wants to move an appointment.
- Task visible
- User too broad
- Context missing
Sharper framing
A returning patient, after a work conflict, wants to find the next available appointment without calling so they can avoid missing care or paying a fee.
- Specific trigger
- Clear task
- Outcome explains risk
