Approach Solution -2
A stronger answer moves past pricing and hygiene, which are the most obvious problems, and instead points to issues around trust, comfort, and access around the cart.
From the buyer's point of view, list these five: no transparent way to verify the weighing scale is accurate; no shade or seating while selecting vegetables in the heat; no parking or safe stopping space near the cart; no price labels, leading to inconsistent haggling between customers; and no way to check vegetables for freshness or chemical treatment before buying. From the seller's point of view, list these five: no fixed selling spot, since carts are frequently asked to move by local authorities; no cold storage nearby, so unsold stock spoils fast; risk of theft since the cart is left unattended overnight; difficulty giving exact change for small purchases; and no signage or branding to stand out from other nearby carts.
For the buyer's visual, draw a customer squinting closely at an old balance scale with unclear, worn markings on its dial, a raised eyebrow and a question mark above their head showing doubt about the true weight. For the seller's visual, draw a municipal official pointing down the street while the seller is shown mid motion, hurriedly pushing the cart away with a few vegetables spilling out, and a customer left standing mid purchase. Together these two drawings make the trust and displacement problems immediately readable, satisfying both the identification and visual communication criteria.
