Progressive disclosure

Show only what the current decision needs, and keep the rest hidden until someone asks for it. Unlike a layout that shows everything at once, this stages the reveal so the surface stays small and the next step stays obvious.

Example

Your trip page shows five rows: dates, total cost, and a one-word verdict per itinerary. Click a row and it expands to flight times, layovers, hotel cancellation terms, and your sister's constraint notes. You compare five options on one screen instead of scrolling past 40 fields.
