audit

PAT·019Pattern · Communication

Experts reviewing an interface against a defined set of principles, which is fast and cheap but not a substitute for users.

RES·002Research method · Evaluative

Count what is actually in production before deciding what the system should contain.

SYS·011Design system · Practice

A structured assessment against WCAG, combining automated tooling with the manual testing that finds most real problems.

FLOW·012Workflow · Practice

Deciding what to fix first, using evidence rather than the volume of the most recent complaint.

FLOW·006Workflow · Practice

Using a vision model for a first-pass heuristic review, which is good at obvious defects and blind to context.

AI·001AI workflow · Evaluation

Using a model alongside automated tooling, which extends coverage a little and does not approach a real audit.

AI·005AI workflow · Evaluation

A structured pass across the whole product, organised by the same categories as the audit tool.

CHK·008Checklist · Evaluation

A recording sheet for expert review, with severity rated from frequency, impact and persistence.

TPL·008Template · Evaluation

A report structure that leads with themes and priorities rather than an undifferentiated list of issues.
