|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When content only makes sense internally and users can't find the structure again, card sorting exposes their mental order. Terms, groups, and naming are then aligned with the target group's expectations. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. | It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped. |
