Concept & Ideation Exploration
User Flows + Journey Mapping
Mapped compliance as a step in the artwork lifecycle: Upload → AI Compliance → Team Review → Revisions → Approval → Export
Information Architecture
We created a compliance panel that: - Separates issues by severity (Required vs Recommended) - Allows drill-down to element level - Connects with review threads
UX Wireframes → Prototypes
Iterations focused on: - Clarity: Users must see what’s wrong and why - Actionable Feedback: Clickable highlights on artworks - Rule Tuneability: UI for playbook rules
Solution
Upload + AI Analysis Dashboard
User drops a label; AI scans in seconds and shows: - Compliance score - Issues list by category - Heatmap overlays on the artwork
Issue Drill-Down
Tap a flagged element: - Text explaining the violation - Regulatory source (e.g., EU Reg, FDA) - Suggested correction
Collaboration + Resolution
- Users comment on specific issues - @mentions send to SMEs - Once resolved, issues are marked fixed
Version Diff
UI shows changes between versions: - What changed - Which issues were resolved or new
Outcome
Results
- 90% faster review time compared to manual compliance workflows.
- 50% reduction in time-to-market, especially for global SKUs.
- Up to 80% fewer revision rounds when AI catches problems early.
