Question for designers: how do you balance repeating existing patterns from your vertical vs. exploring new solutions? I often get asked to "just do as company X", but I'm aware that those companies are not offering a great experience overall (and customer base differs etc).

I often say no since I’m building zero to one product now, but if I strongly believe in the benefit, I’d articulate what you said and take the risk without a doubt. [2/2]
All great points, @kagan. I am genuinely curious about how others handle and measure this risk. Thank you sharing
You can ask a question back to your stakeholder about what they liked or valued on that reference design. Oftentimes they might not want an exact copy but they like certain aspects.
