Refining UX for AI Governance: Transforming a SaaS MVP into a Scalable, User-Centric Solution
About the client
trail is a B2B software startup in the AI governance / compliance space, offering a SaaS “copilot” that automates governance, documentation, risk, and audit workflows; it is backed by a ~€1.5 million pre-seed financing round.
Challenge
The startup initially approached Netlight with a very early prototype in a complex user environment that is governance and compliance. The challenge was clear - they wanted to make user-friendliness a core part of their solution and needed to enhance usability, visual aesthetics, scalability and define design hierarchy.
Solution
Netlight tackled this challenge through a well-structured iterative design sprint, emphasizing continuous stakeholder communication and feedback. The process involved distinct stages:
Problem Definition: Collaborative sessions to comprehend pain points and refine project objectives.
Brainstorming: Creative workshops to understand the underlying problem, gather perspectives, and draw inspiration.
Prototyping: Iterative processes involving paper prototyping, wireframing, and creating a Figma prototype.
Testing: Conducting user tests to obtain outsider perspectives and gather UX feedback.
Impact
- Outlined the user journey, focusing on key features for the initial MVP.
- Developed a visually appealing and user-friendly clickable prototype, addressing the shortcomings of the initial product.
- Ensured the new design not only met the startup’s immediate needs but also laid the foundation for scalability, aligning with the evolving landscape of AI governance.
