Apply the Doherty Threshold — keep system response under 400ms to preserve user flow. Use when diagnosing perceived slowness or setting a performance budget. For what to show during unavoidable waits, use `loading-states`.

When to use

• diagnosing perceived slowness
• setting a performance budget
• identifying where response latency breaks user flow
• designing feedback patterns
• setting technical targets for immediate interactions

When not to use

• what to show during unavoidable waits
