An existing product with usability issues or conversion friction, or a redesign about to start.

Problems it solves

A senior review of an existing product, run from outside your team. We work through the journeys your users actually take, record where the experience breaks down, and return a prioritised set of changes with the reasoning behind each one.

Users abandon a flow and nobody can say exactly where. A redesign is about to start without agreement on what is wrong with the current product. Support answers the same question every week. The interface has grown feature by feature and no longer holds together as one system.

An audit is not a redesign. It tells you what to fix, in what order, and why that order.
