An interactive concept flow for design patterns as named tradeoffs, from its assumptions through the main operation and boundary checks.

readyA design pattern names a recurring structure for solving a family of design problems. It is useful when it communicates roles and tradeoffs faster than a bespoke explanation. A pattern is not a rule to apply whenever its name sounds familiar.
Use the stages in order to explain design patterns as named tradeoffs. Each stage makes one assumption visible: what the operation promises, what representation it uses, how state changes, which boundary can invalidate a shortcut, and what evidence confirms the result.
