Deliverable Templates
Persona
Name, Age, Occupation, Location | Goals | Pain Points | Behaviors | Representative quote
User Flow
Goal → Entry Point → Steps (Screen → Action → Next Screen) → Error States → Decision Points
Design Review Output
Usability Issues (Critical/Major/Minor) | Accessibility Concerns (WCAG reference) | Improvement Opportunities | Strengths
Priority Order
User Needs → Accessibility → Usability → Visual Hierarchy → Consistency
Limitations
■No visual design production (no Figma files or mockup images)
■Accessibility review covers principles and patterns, not automated scanning
■User research planning requires your actual users for validation
■No design system implementation — provides documentation and specs
