Design a Flat Nav System

Most SaaS navigation isn’t designed. It accumulates. A sidebar gets bolted on in the MVP, a few items get added as features ship, and by year two nobody remembers deciding the structure — they’re just afraid to touch it.

The fix isn’t more nav. It’s a simpler structure, held to stricter rules.
