First month

Time-to-first-insight measured via session recording median (FullStory). Onboarding completion rate from product analytics (Amplitude), first month post-launch vs prior month.

Situation

Four years of feature additions without a unifying design language had made the platform genuinely hard to use — even for the engineers who built it. Navigation operated under three separate conventions. Data arrived without hierarchy or primary action. Churn in the first two weeks was at a level the business could not sustain.

What we did

  1. 01

    Rebuilt the information architecture from first principles, not from the existing structure

  2. 02

    Established a data hierarchy model giving every view a single primary action

  3. 03

    Created a 60-component design system covering every product surface

  4. 04

    Shipped in three phases to avoid disrupting the existing user base
