Visibility without accuracy is its own problem. A label that says "none" when the behavior is "any" is no better than an invisible empty-input idiom — both leave the user holding the wrong model. Catalog shape suggestion: this is the same principle as Pattern 3, in a follow-up form. Either a single entry that captures both halves (visible + accurate) or two cross-linked entries. |
