Reference documents you can cite: patterns, UX laws and how-tos, each with its sources and the date it was last reviewed.
Patterns
Interface patterns as reference documents: what problem each one solves, when it fits, when it does not, and how to build it so people can use it.

UX laws
The research findings behind everyday design decisions, stated plainly, with the original sources and what each one means for a real product. Every law follows the same workbook shape: the law in one sentence, where it comes from, what it means for an interface, examples, where it is misapplied, a checklist to run against your own screens, and related laws and patterns.

How-tos
Step-by-step procedures for common UX tasks, written as workbooks you can follow on your own product and check your work against. Each how-to is the one canonical procedure for its task, and every one has the same shape: the outcome you will have at the end; when to use it and when not to; what you need before you start; numbered steps, each saying what to do and what you should have once it is done; a worked example taken through every step; a checklist to run against your own result; the mistakes people commonly make; and the related laws, patterns, Pulse templates and courses. Where a Pulse template exists for the task, the how-to ends in it, so you finish with a filled-in persona, journey map, empathy map, survey or brief rather than a page of notes. The articles keep the reasoning behind each method and link here for the steps.
