Make the Norman three-level matrix the operating system

Audit every UI surface against visceral, behavioral, and reflective levels BEFORE designing — not after. The matrix surfaces gaps the designer's eye misses: a screen can be functionally solid (behavioral) and visually polished (visceral) while leaving the reflective layer completely empty. By making the matrix the planning artifact itself, prioritization becomes mechanical: lowest-rated cells become slices, and post-implementation ratings verify the gaps actually closed.
