UX Audit

Score your project across five UX dimensions. Export a plain-text report.

Work through the five audit categories below. Each question is scored on a 1–4 scale. The instrument calculates category scores, flags critical issues, and produces a copyable plain-text report you can share with your client or keep in your project file.
