A design system is not a sticker book of components. It is the operating system of your customer experience — and treating it that way changes who owns it, how it is funded, and how it is measured.

What a mature system looks like - A single token set powering web, mobile, product, and email. - Component-level a11y guarantees, not just guidelines. - Versioned releases with deprecation contracts. - A consumer scorecard tracking adoption and incidents.

How it changes delivery Teams ship 30–60% faster after the first quarter, and accessibility incidents fall sharply because the system codifies the right defaults.
