- 02Primary control surface
- 03Feedback, focus, and dismissal

Use it when people need to compare exact facts across several rows or columns.
Do not use it when
Never squeeze complex card content into tiny table cells, especially on a phone.

<table> Before you ship
Before release, check the page structure, keyboard access, visible focus, contrast, and zoom. Also check loading, empty, error, success, cancel, and reduced-motion states.
Outcome: Use Table to solve this user need without losing the current context. User context: A plan table lines up price, limits, and support for three plans. This makes comparison easy. Recommended pattern: Table. Why it fits: Use it when people need to compare exact facts across several rows or columns. Do not use it when: Never squeeze complex card content into tiny table cells, especially on a phone. Product requirements: Define the default, loading, empty, error, success, and recovery states. Keep user input. Give clear feedback after every action. Accessibility and resilience: Use semantic HTML, full keyboard access, and visible focus. Make the layout work when zoomed and support reduced motion. Follow the project’s current rules. Do not add a new UI library unless the project already uses it. Acceptance criteria: The main task works with keyboard only and at 320px width. Focus and status changes are announced. Check loading, failure, retry, cancel, and reduced-motion paths. Evidence and limits (evidence boundary): The standard covers only the listed scope. It does not choose the visual style, product decision, or Vibulary example. Unknowns to confirm: Product wording, data source, analytics events, supported devices and languages, and platform limits.
