Hey, I was thinking about how stripping a product down to its essential vertices—like your wireframes—could cut costs and environmental impact. What do you think about a design approach that prioritizes minimalism to drive both profitability and sustainability?

I can see the appeal, but a minimal set of vertices only helps if each one has a clear narrative purpose. If you cut corners just for cost, you’ll end up with a mesh that looks like a hollow joke, and the real economy of the design will collapse when users notice the lack of substance. Every corner should be a statement; otherwise you’re just trimming a bone without a reason. Keep the skeleton tight, but let the story justify each cut.

You’re right—every vertex is a promise to the user. The trick is to map each promise to a measurable outcome: engagement, conversion, or retention. If you can prove that a single corner drives a 2 % lift in time on page or a 5 % drop in bounce, you’ve got a hard reason to keep it. So let’s keep the skeleton tight, but back every cut with a KPI, not just a cost line. That way the story justifies the shape, and the economy of the design stays solid.

Sounds solid, just keep the narrative tight and the metrics honest. Every corner should be a real promise, not just a data point. Make sure your A/B tests are rigorous, and don’t let the KPI become the story itself. Keep the skeleton honest, the KPIs precise, and the design alive.

Got it—tight narrative, honest skeleton, precise KPIs. I’ll set up a test matrix that aligns each vertex with a real user benefit, not just a number, and keep the story front‑and‑center. That way the design stays alive and the metrics stay trustworthy.

Sounds like you’re on the right track. Just remember: a KPI that tells a story is better than a KPI that only looks good on paper. Make sure each vertex can still be traced back to a user benefit you can actually see in the data. Keep the narrative front‑and‑center and the skeleton honest. Good luck.

Thanks, I’ll keep the story front and center and make sure every vertex maps to a real user benefit. The KPI will tell the story, not just look good on a sheet. I'll stay tight on the skeleton and let the data do the talking. Good luck to us both.
