Design Debt & Usability Audit
Design debt compounds quietly until it breaks adoption. Our UX/UI debt audit and usability audit uncover and resolve the interaction, accessibility, and consistency issues that hinder product performance. We go beyond UI reviews with UX audit services that are behavior‑informed and ROI‑prioritized, reducing friction and scaling product clarity.
How We Identify and Remediate Design Debt
Behavior-Backed Evaluation
We audit usability through real user behavior, surfacing patterns that reduce task completion, increase decision fatigue, and signal UX debt.
Heuristic & Interaction Audit
Our UX debt audit service blends heuristic evaluation with hands‑on diagnostics, covering clarity, consistency, flow logic, and accessibility audit for product design compliance.
Friction Mapping & Pattern Inconsistencies
We surface clashing UI patterns, dead-end flows, and weak affordances, each mapped to user drop-off and confusion signals.
Scorecard-Based Prioritization
We deliver a ranked roadmap of design fixes using ROI-weighted effort scoring, helping teams act with clarity, not opinion.
Remediation Planning & Design Alignment
We guide teams through design debt remediation, aligning fixes with design systems, feature goals, and sprints.
Product Design Debt Management
We create actionable plans for design debt reduction that prevent issues from resurfacing as your product evolves.
Loyalty program integration for Shopify
Behavior‑Informed Usability Audit
We evaluate usability using structured frameworks and behavioral signalsnot design trends or personal preferences.
Depth Beyond Surface UI
Our design debt audit examines how product design debt erodes adoption, support metrics, and roadmap clarity.
Prioritization with ROI Lens
We don’t just diagnose, we score impact and remediation effort, helping teams focus on what delivers immediate UX uplift.
Product‑Integrated UX Thinking
We treat design debt management as a product risk layer, aligning fixes with business goals and team capacity.
Clarity for Product and Design Teams
Our insights bridge strategy and design, turning audits into actionable guidance for PMs, UX leads, and developers alike.
Sustainable Design Debt Reduction
We embed practices into workflows to prevent recurring usability and consistency issues.
How We Turn Design Debt Into Product Advantage
Design Debt Reduction
We help teams move beyond the visual polish, removing bottlenecks that frustrate users and stall engagement.
UX Audits Grounded in Data
Every diagnostic is backed by usage signals, accessibility gaps, and design system mismatches, not just heuristics.
Scored and Sequenced Fixes
Our usability scorecard breaks down what to fix now, next, or laterenabling focused remediation across sprints.
Behavior‑Linked Usability Insights
We map pain points to actual user behaviors, surfacing invisible UX decisions that reduce conversion, retention, or clarity.
Targeted Fixes Within Your Roadmap
We make audits work with your delivery plans, prioritizing fixes that improve usability without disrupting flow.
Design Debt Remediation for Growth
We ensure fixes align with scaling needs so improvements hold as products expand.
Conducting in-depth studies to understand user motivations, decision flows, and friction points that shape product engagement.
Analyzing current product experiences against industry best practices and competitor positioning to uncover improvement opportunities.
Structuring navigation, workflows, and interaction patterns that prioritize clarity, usability, and conversion
Creating behavioral personas and mapping end-to-end journeys to ensure every interaction feels intuitive and outcome-driven.
UX Validation
Using qualitative and quantitative feedback to validate design choices, identify early friction points, and optimize for product success.
Turning UX Audits into Product Wins
“We had experienced people on our project. They were notably fast and better than anyone we’d seen before. The team came on board quickly and excelled for their responsiveness, speed of development, and experience.”
VP of Engineering, Ecoation

How do you ensure AI features are aligned with real user and business needs?
Every AI initiative begins with discovery – identifying clear use cases, validating assumptions, and defining measurable outcomes. The focus is always on solving the right problem, not just implementing technology for its own sake.
What if our data is incomplete or inconsistent - can AI still be applied?
Data quality and readiness are critical for effective AI. Part of the process involves assessing available data, addressing gaps, and designing models that can still deliver value while longer-term data strategies evolve.
How do you handle concerns about explainability and trust in AI systems?
Models are designed to be as transparent and interpretable as possible, with outputs that can be audited and explained to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Trust and accountability are considered from the start.
Does embedding AI into a product make it harder to scale or maintain?
Not when implemented thoughtfully. AI is integrated into modular, sustainable architectures, ensuring that the product remains scalable and maintainable as usage and complexity grow.
How do you determine whether AI is even the right solution for a given problem?
Not all problems benefit from AI. The process begins by evaluating whether automation, prediction, or personalization would add meaningful value – and only then designing solutions where AI clearly outperforms alternatives.
When is the right time to consider adding AI to a product?
Typically when there is a clear opportunity to enhance decision-making, automate repetitive tasks, personalize experiences, or uncover patterns at scale. Early validation ensures the timing aligns with your product’s maturity and data readiness.
