Happy path versus a full edge-case map
The happy path is the easy part. Figr maps the states that actually break products:
  • Input and data: empty, loading, partial data, validation errors
  • Access and session: permission states, access changes, session expiry
  • System and network: error states, retries, network failures, offline or slow connections
  • Money and destructive actions: payment failures, confirmation steps, destructive actions

Example prompts

  • “Map the file upload flow, including file too large, unsupported type, network failure, storage limit, and access revoked.”
  • “Map the billing upgrade flow, including payment failure, expired card, permission restriction, invoice loading, and downgrade impact.”
  • “Map the password reset flow, including invalid email, expired link, used link, rate limit, and success.”
Edge cases are not nice to have. They are the product. When Figr maps the flow visually, your team aligns before any screen is polished. Designers see which states to build, engineers see the behavior to expect, and PMs get a sharper spec.
