To audit interaction design flow, inspect a representative scenario, record posture and friction observations, and map them to Cooper's dimensions to surface navigational friction, modal interruptions, and stylistic excess disrupting user momentum. This identifies excise types and severity levels.

Product posture in interaction design ensures a product's behavior respects platform conventions and attention context. Auditing posture fit evaluates whether the product maintains appropriate behavioral etiquette across different user tiers and real-use scenarios without imposing unnecessary user burden.

Assess interaction design etiquette and forgiveness by reviewing undo capabilities, non-destructive paths, and modeless feedback. This evaluation reduces user burden by ensuring the product handles errors gracefully and provides clear recovery mechanisms during real-use scenarios.

You can evaluate learnability and idioms by checking for consistent controls, honest affordances, and clear paths for beginners, intermediates, and experts. This assessment surfaces whether the product supports progressive learning without creating unnecessary barriers for any user tier.

The best way to standardize interaction design audit findings is to output observations across four dimensions with explicit fields including posture, user_tier, excise_type, severity, and evidence sources. This structured approach ensures consistent, actionable recommendations across different product contexts.

You need an interaction design audit for vendor assessments when evaluating product behavior quality, posture alignment, and flow-related friction. This structured review exposes whether a vendor's product respects platform conventions, supports learnability, and maintains etiquette forgiveness during real-use scenarios.
