| Case | Situation | Module | Question to ask |
|---|---|---|---|
| The kitchen looks clean, but the workflow is broken | Apartment kitchen remodel | KitchenCheck | Can we show a version that keeps the fridge closer to the sink or adds a landing zone without moving plumbing? |
| A narrow galley kitchen has nowhere to land hot pans | Townhouse kitchen refresh | KitchenCheck | Can we protect at least one continuous landing counter next to the stove before finalizing tall cabinet placement? |
