As explained there is a uniformity in the schemes (and through the basic sequences) for the balanced shapes
Within the pointranges you can divide

3 types:

a) the double transfer scheme
because of the weak zones , finding as quick as possible a part-score is the aim.
In case of investigation for game prospects, use a relay, the first 2 event. 3 bid-rounds are designed for that matter.
Further bidding f.e. 4333/4432 according 1 fix scheme through whole the system. Same applies for the suits.

b) the main scheme
at least game-level so main/standard scheme for all the balanced distribution types with 2 or 2:

The 2 bid:
- 4333, 4432
- or 5332, 5422 or 6322
- 7222 and poor suit or closed 7222 but without no side values (as guide: 2 is lowest bid = poor)

The 2 bid:
- or 5332, 5422 or 6322
- 7222 and good suit or closed 7222 but with side value (as guide: 2 is highest bid = good)

In further relay sequences uniformity too:
"flatter"distribution is 1st bid, then suit order, numerical

The 2 bid: relay [2]

2	4333, 4432	[2]	= relay or for more	2-3	4333, 4432 stand. answ. scheme
		{2}	= relay in own hand +(4/3M ask)	3 -3	standard answer scheme
2	5332, 5422 or 6322	[2]	3 = 5332 òr 5422 (4=lowest suit)	[3]	3=2-way (not numerica!l) 3= <<3523>> 3= <<3532>>
			3 =5422 (4=highest suits)	[3]	numerical
			3-3 =6322 numerical
2	5332, 5422	[3]	3 =5422 (4=highest suits)	[3]	numerical
			3=2-way	[3]	3=5233, 4=5224 (not num!)
			3= <<5323>>
			3= <<5332>>
3	6322	[3]	3-3 =6322 numerical
3- 3	7222 poor no 2 toph. (3= two-way: or , rest is natural BUT if is not mentioined 3= and 3 =
3	any 7222 closed no side value (if 13-15 range then no side Ace)

The 2 bid: relay [2] with the same setup of the above scheme :

2	5332, 5422 or 6322	[2]	3 = 5332 òr 5422 (4=lowest suit)	[3]	3=2-way (not numerica!l)
					3= <<3235>>
					3= <<3325>>
			3 =5422 (4=highest suits)	[3]	numerical
			3-3 =6322 numerical
2	5332, 5422	[3]	3 =5422 (4=highest suits)	[3]	numerical
			3=2-way	[3]	3=2353, 4=2254 (not num!)
			3= <<3253>>
			3= <<3352>>
3	6322	[3]	3-3 =6322 numerical
3- 3*	7222 2 Toph. (3= two-way: or , rest is natural OR Pass opener and M: bid 3= and 3 = up to your memory!)
3*	any 7222 closed + side value (if 13-15 range then a side Ace)
*Note: if a suit or has not been bid in the previous sequence already then don't mention the real suit. 3 f.e. = then any 7222 closed + side value (if 12-13 or 13-15 range then with a side Ace)

A relay after the distribution/type definition is not obligatory, depending on the level you can ask for a stopper, start control bidding, asking for a 3+ card support in a Major.

c) The semi main scheme
almost the same and for the 16-17 zone with 1 level higher bids

So in general on the occasion of exact distribution asking (and actually already one step before) the answer scheme is the same for the 3 distributions.
