  • · No usability testing built into the scope, only deliverables (X wireframes, Y screens, Z personas)
  • · Designer-led, not user-led: aesthetic preference framed as insight, no behavioural evidence
  • · Personas presented without research method, sample size, or quotes from real users
  • · Accessibility and WCAG 2.1 AA never raised, despite the European Accessibility Act being in force
  • · Refusal to name the practitioners doing the research or disclose subcontracted moderators
