Good Labels Follow These Criteria

When evaluating labels, test them against the following 5 criteria: Label Audit Framework 1) Accurate: True to the content 2) Concise: Streamlined; contains just enough words and no more 3) Familiar: Uses meaningful words to describe options and doesn’t require users to already know the offerings 4) Comprehensive: Adequately describes all of the section's content 5) Front-loaded: Starts with the 'most–information-carrying word(s)'
(from Four Dangerous Navigation Approaches that Can Increase Cognitive Strain).
