Legal Badger

Automating intellectual property surveillance

Legal Badger is a startup revolutionizing brand monitoring through automated processes powered by artificial intelligence. This innovative approach drastically improves efficiency, transforming what was once a manual process in Ecuador.

The Challenge

At an early stage, the startup had successfully developed its product’s functionalities and tested them with different users. However, they noticed that despite its functionality, the product overwhelmed users with too many features simultaneously, resulting in a complex user experience. As a consequence, users frequently struggled to navigate through its sections.

Proposal

A comprehensive analysis of the product’s value proposition was undertaken to understand how to guide users to its key functions. Consequently, the interface design was revamped to enhance interaction offered in each section.

First, we need a plan

At the outset of this project, a meticulous planning phase was undertaken to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the client's needs and to outline a roadmap for the design process. This phase encompassed the identification of key methodologies and tools to be employed, including a detailed focus on value proposition analysis, information architecture review, and UI redesign.

Discovery

During the Discovery phase of the project, our primary focus was on gaining a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by the client. This phase commenced with in-person sessions involving the client's product team, fostering collaborative discussions and knowledge sharing to unearth key insights. Through a combination of stakeholder interviews, and problem mapping exercises, we delved deep into the underlying issues and pain points.

By adopting a user-centric approach, we sought to empathize with end-users and gain valuable insights into their needs, preferences, and behaviors. The culmination of this phase involved synthesizing and documenting our findings to inform the subsequent stages of the design process.

Problems finding workshop

During the Discovery phase, we conducted a Problem Finding Workshop with the client's product team. Through collaborative discussions and activities, stakeholders mapped out user challenges and pain points encountered during product interactions.

Drawing upon their experiences, the team identified usability issues, feature requests, and broader concerns, fostering a shared understanding and alignment. These insights served as a foundation for informed decision-making and guided our efforts to develop solutions that address user needs effectively.

Benchmark

In the Benchmark phase, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of both visual and functional aspects across platforms that offer similar features to those our client sought, such as brand and contact management. While these platforms were not direct competitors, they provided valuable insights into information architecture and task flows.

In this phase, we analyzed platforms like Clio, HubSpot, and NEXL, chosen for their relevance in offering similar functionalities to our client's needs, such as brand and contact management. By scrutinizing their interfaces, navigation structures, and feature sets, we gained insights into industry standards and user expectations. This analysis informed our design decisions, ensuring alignment with user needs and preferences.

Ideation start with brainstorming

After gathering insights from benchmarking and evaluation phases, we used Prioritization Matrix results to generate solutions for identified challenges. Organizing ideas into logical groups via the Features Map, we systematically planned new capabilities, ensuring alignment with project goals and resource constraints. Through collaborative ideation sessions, we fostered creativity and innovation, laying the groundwork for a comprehensive solution meeting client and user needs.
