How Would We Define “Build Effort”?

Each pattern has a complexity indicator using this simple scale:

LevelDescription
🟢 LowSimple implementation, minimal dependencies, little to no JavaScript required (e.g., Tooltip, Expandable Text).
🟡 MediumRequires state management, user interactions, and accessibility considerations (e.g., Load More, Modal).
🔴 HighComplex UI behavior, animations, accessibility, performance optimizations, and multiple edge cases (e.g., Carousel, Infinite Scroll).
