Component Audits & System Reviews

Evaluate the health, adoption, and consistency of your design system components. This service helps teams identify duplication, gaps, and usage trends — forming the foundation for roadmap prioritisation and governance decisions.

When to Employ This Service

Use when maintaining or scaling your design system — especially to identify duplication, gaps, and improvement opportunities.

  • Better system adoption and clarity

  • Prioritised improvements for governance and reuse

  • Stronger system health and sustainability
