When developing a labeling system, keeping the scope narrow is crucial for clarity and effectiveness. Focusing on a specific audience reduces the number of perspectives on what a label means, resulting in more obvious and effective representation.

Here’s how to narrow down the scope:

• Define your audience: Clearly identify who will be using your system. This helps tailor labels to their needs and expectations.
• Use clear categories: Break down content into distinct categories. Avoid overlapping areas that can confuse users.
• Test and iterate: Regularly test your labels with real users and be willing to adjust based on feedback to ensure clarity.
