Maintaining consistency across web, iOS, and Android while respecting each platform's native conventions — a genuine tension between brand consistency and platform-appropriate behavior.

• 2Learn where platform conventions (like navigation patterns) should generally be respected, not overridden.
• 3Identify what should stay identical across platforms (brand, color) versus what should adapt (navigation).
