Problem

Scenario

You're designing a workflow in a complex enterprise platform where users depend on the interface to make time-sensitive decisions. Some actions can fail because of missing permissions, incomplete data, or backend timeouts, and some views may take several seconds to load because they depend on large queries or live updates.

Question

How do you handle edge cases, error states, and latency in your interaction designs?
