Job 07 of 9
Catch problems early
Once you have a design and need to find out what's wrong before it ships. Heuristic review, accessibility audit, bias check, compliance scan, attention prediction, simulated testing - all the evaluative methods we have, with a little help from LLMs.

Synthetic Stakeholder Critique
VAL-035Gives designer access to diverse stakeholder perspectives by simulating distinct critical positions, finding unanticipated objections that can be addressed before live stakeholder engagement.
Validate·Quality·Emerging
Research Bias Audit
VAL-036Post fieldwork analysis, the user researcher has an AI critique their report by looking for areas of bias or interpretive overreach before findings are delivered.
Validate·Risk Reduction·Developing
Predictive Attention Analysis
VAL-037As an early screening tool for catching hierarchy problems. Predicted attention heatmaps are generated without participants, enabling rapid visual hierarchy checks before committing to live eye-tracking or running behavioral analytics on live products.
Validate·Efficiency·Established
Simulated Usability Testing
VAL-038Agents simulate user interactions with a prototype, generating plausible behavioural data and task completion patterns without recruiting participants or scheduling sessions.
Validate·Velocity·Emerging
Design Critique
CON-030Provides structured design review on demand, identifying issues the designer may be too close to see so the work can be strengthened before human review.
Concept·Quality·Emerging
A/B Test Automation
IMP-060Shortens experiment runtime by generating test configurations from product analytics, then recommending optimizations based on test results.
Improve·Velocity·Developing
Design System Compliance Monitoring
IMP-061Continuously reviews live product against design system rules, detecting drift, inconsistencies, and shadow implementations before they compound into systemic design debt.
Improve·Quality·Developing
Accessibility Audit
VAL-034Catches accessibility issues before development by automating WCAG compliance checks across designs and live interfaces, reducing remediation costs and compliance exposure.
Validate·Quality·Established
Automated Heuristic Evaluation
VAL-041AI analyses UI screenshots against established usability principles, producing a structured list of potential violations that a designer or specialist reviews and prioritises.
Validate·Efficiency·Established
Regulatory Compliance Scan
VAL-102Catches compliance violations at the design stage rather than at formal review or post-launch, reducing remediation cost and shortening the review cycle for regulated product teams.
Validate·Risk Reduction·Emerging
Cross-Channel Consistency Audit
VAL-103Detects cross-channel semantic drift that degrades brand coherence and AI-mediated visibility, enabling teams to remediate contradictions before they compound into systemic brand confusion.
Validate·Risk Reduction·Emerging
UI Linting and Compliance Checking
DEL-054Detects design system violations in UI implementations before they reach production, catching inconsistencies that manual review misses at scale.
Deliver·Risk Reduction·Emerging
Visual Regression Testing
DEL-058Detects unintended visual changes between design specifications and code implementations automatically, catching regressions that manual review misses at scale.
Deliver·Quality·Established
Session Replay Analysis
IMP-066Creates a unified diagnostic view by generating summaries that triangulates session replay with friction points and behavioural patterns found across data sources.
Improve·Insight·Developing
Experience Analytics Monitoring
IMP-108Detects experience quality issues across thousands of sessions, helping teams remediate before they impact into business.
