Claims

C1strongest claim

GreenZ provides a three-layer Sustainable UX Framework with a Digital Waste Taxonomy classifying eight waste types and an AI Sufficiency Decision Model that prioritizes whether AI should exist in a flow.

C2weakest assumption

The ten published principles combined with five operational frameworks and the new taxonomy and decision model will effectively address digital waste and sustainability without empirical validation or testing.

C3one line summary

GreenZ is a conceptual three-layer sustainable UX framework built on ten principles, five operational systems, and practical tools, centered on an eight-type Digital Waste Taxonomy and a model questioning AI necessity before implementation.
