Usage Insights

Insights to create tomorrow's interfaces

What Users Do. What data uncovers. What to Build Next.

We analyze your existing Human-Machine-Interfaces and deliver a prioritized insight report.

  • Key use cases & user workflows A clear map of how your system is actually used in the field—task by task, role by role.
  • Usability & interaction issues Every friction point, missed affordance, and silent inefficiency—surfaced and named.
  • High-impact opportunities for improvement Prioritized by effort and impact, so you know exactly where to focus first.

Each insight is ranked, explained, and ready to inform design, prototyping, or development—removing uncertainty from your next steps.

Case studies

AnalysisPrototypingTesting

heart.ai

Workflow for Structural Heart Intervention Planning

Automated ML planning shifts the cardiologist's role from doing to verifying — we redesigned the report to match how clinicians actually build trust in results.

Analysis

Decent Espresso

Interface for coffee machine in office setting

A feature-rich espresso machine built for enthusiasts landed in a shared office. We uncovered how non-experts navigate complex hardware — and what that means for the interface.

Services

analysis

You don't just get a report.

We uncover how your system is truly used in the field — what empowers users, what frustrates them, and where your interface silently leaks efficiency.

  • Key use cases and user workflows, mapped task by task
  • Every friction point and interaction issue—surfaced and named
  • Improvement priorities ranked by effort and impact
prototyping

These prototypes aren't polished products. They're decision-making tools.

Low- to mid-fidelity prototypes that make ideas testable, tangible, and clear — before heavy development begins.

  • Testable concepts in days, not weeks
  • Evidence-based design decisions before high-fidelity begins
  • Reduced rework risk at implementation
testing

A Testing Stack Built for Early Confidence

Five targeted methods that validate your HMI from rough prototype to final flow — every decision grounded in real user behavior.

  1. Hallway Testing Surface obvious structural flaws with people outside the project team—fast and honest.
  2. Think-Aloud Sessions Reveal how users interpret labels, flows, and screen logic by verbalizing their thought process.
  3. Remote + Heatmap Testing Task-based sessions with visual heat-map marking of success zones and friction points.
  4. Wizard-of-Oz Testing Test interactions before they exist—simulated responses, real user reactions.
  5. Interaction Flow Validation Ensure navigation and transitions feel natural and that users can always recover from mistakes.
