Product & UX Diagnostic for features, flows, and UX decisions that are not converting
A focused product and UX diagnosis before the work gets bigger.
A tightly scoped product and UX diagnostic for a feature, flow, onboarding issue, conversion problem, heuristic UX review, or design-system concern. I identify what is happening, why it matters, and what should change next, without turning the engagement into freelance design execution.
Where this is most useful
- Founders and product leaders who need a sharp external diagnosis before committing to a build or redesign
- Teams debating why a feature, onboarding path, or service experience is not being used
- Companies that want Product Systems Audit later but need a lower-friction first engagement
Scope and investment
Fixed-price engagement. Final scope depends on surface count, access, and whether the issue is a focused product/UX problem or a deeper operating-system problem.
Focused Diagnostic
One bounded surface, feature, or conversion issue.
Core Diagnostic
One product journey or feature with stakeholder context.
Expanded Diagnostic
Multiple related flows or a heavier design-system/product decision.
What changes the scope
- Number of screens, flows, states, and user roles
- Whether stakeholder interviews are needed
- How much analytics, research, or design-system context must be reviewed
- How quickly the readout needs to support a live product decision
Engagement boundary
This is diagnosis and recommendation work. It can include UX/product strategy for a bounded surface, but it does not include ongoing design production or ownership of team rituals.
Engagement shape
Not for
- Organizations that need me embedded in rituals or team cadence from day one
- Teams looking for a freelance designer to produce full design execution
- Problems that are clearly cross-functional operating-system failures, which belong in Product Systems Audit
Next step
If the diagnostic shows a deeper operating cause, the next step is usually Product Systems Audit, Strategic Advisor, or Workflow Systems.
Common Questions
Is this the same as Product Systems Audit?
Do you design the solution?
How do you determine the band?
Deliverables
