Evidence Notes.
8 Findings Published
Evidence
Primary referent: stack off.
Evidence
Implied function: The icon must communicate Stack Off in a digital interface..
Evidence
Metaphor type: functional.
Evidence
The icon's primary referent is 'stack off', representing a stack of layered documents or content with a disabling or off indicator (cross mark).
Evidence
The icon effectively communicates the intended functional meaning of disabling or turning off stacking or layered content in digital interfaces.
Evidence
Visual metrics indicate strong perceptual clarity and resilience, with a perceptual convergence score of 0.75, showing the icon maintains visual form under size, blur, and contrast variations.
Evidence
Semantic convergence is moderate (0.59), indicating some ambiguity in interpretation, with possible confusion with close, cancel, or other disable icons.
Evidence
Functional convergence is 0.6, reflecting a reasonable but not perfect mapping to the intended action.

[ RECOMMENDED NEXT ACTIONS ]
What Improves This Pictogram.
Action
Conduct representative user testing across diverse user groups to validate semantic transparency and functional clarity before publication.
Action
Maintain visible text labels or tooltips alongside the icon until user testing confirms that the icon alone reliably communicates 'stack off'.
Action
Ensure the icon is placed with clear contextual cues and consistent labeling to reduce confusion with similar icons such as close or cancel.
Action
Consider design refinements to enhance semantic distinctiveness and reduce ambiguity, especially to improve temporal convergence and cultural recognition.
Action
Monitor usage and feedback over time to detect any semantic decay and update the icon or its usage guidelines accordingly.
