design-validate

Design validation verifies that visual artifacts align with the original problem statement, meet accessibility requirements, and cover all defined user flows. It ensures the designed product is robust, accessible, and feasible for engineering to implement.

Engineering feasibility assessment identifies potential implementation challenges or costly design decisions within a visual design. It analyzes design system artifacts to flag technical constraints early, ensuring a smooth transition from design to engineering execution.

Yes, you can audit color contrast, touch targets, keyboard navigation, and screen reader compatibility. The validation process reviews existing expression phase artifacts to ensure the design meets accessibility standards for all users.

You check edge cases by verifying that user journeys defined in earlier discovery and structure phases are fully supported by the final design. This validation confirms all defined flows and system tokens handle expected edge scenarios.

The best way to define post-launch metrics is to validate the design against project goals and original user needs first. This helps identify key performance indicators necessary to track the design's success accurately after release.

Yes, you need completed visual designs and system tokens from the expression phase. Validation analyzes these existing artifacts against discovery and structure phases to produce a comprehensive report for iteration.
