How about?
1N-semiforcing
.....2m-natural
..........2H-weakness signal
...............2S-weak relay
....................P-wants to play 2S
....................2N-wants to play 2N
....................3m-light raise
..........2S-invitational, 2-fit
..........2N-invitational, misfit
..........3m-invitational raise
2C-GF relay or GI clubs
2D-constructive or limit raise
.....2H-invitational opposite a limit raise
2H-6H, less than GI
2S-weak raise
A problem here is redundancy with GI clubs. 1S-1N, 2C and responder shouldn't have a GI clubs. Maybe 1S-2C should be GF relay or GI 4+H
Let's see..
1S-2C
.....2D-bal, 4+C, 5440s
..........2S-4H/4C
..........2N-4H
.....2H-4+D
..........2N-4H
..........3D-4H/4D
.....2S-SS
.....2N-4H, higher or even short
.....3C-4H, lower short
.....etc-5/5H

Tallied the results for 100 hands fitting a 1N through 2S reply and here are the frequency of responses....
1N-27
2C-20
2D-21 (CR or 3-cd LR)
2H-7
2S-25 (assuming NV, probably less V)

So awm had a super-interesting idea for 1S-2D. Here's the latest...
2C-3-cd LR or GI 4-5 hearts (but not a 5/5) OR any GF relay. So relay breaks identify the 3-cd LR or GI heart hands.
.....2D-5332 or 5440 or 4+ clubs
..........2H-GF relay
..........2S-3-cd LR
..........2N-GI 4-5 hearts
...............3H-GF, 3 hearts
...............3S-GF, 6 spades
..........3m-GI 4H/6m
.....2H-4+ diamonds
..........2S-GF relay
..........2N-GI 4-5 hearts
...............3H-GF, 3 hearts
..............3S-GF, 6 spades
..........3C-GI 4H/6+C
..........3D-GI 4H/4+D
..........3S-LR
.....2S-SS
..........etc
.....2N-4H, higher or even shortness
.....3C-4H, lower shortness
.....etc-resolving 5S/5H
2D-Multi
.....2H-<3H (or maybe very minimum with 3H?)
..........P-6H minimum
..........2S-GI, 5H/5m
...............2N-asks minor
..........2N-GI, 5D/5C
..........3C-GI 6C
..........3D-GI 6D
..........3H-GI 6H
.....2S-3H
2H-constructive raise
2S-weak raise
This accomplishes a lot, including frequently getting to 2M when responder has a 3-cd limit raise (and when opener has a 5332).
This leaves 2N and higher open. Bergen raises? WJSs? Mini-splinters?
