Design reference research
Researches comparable products and collects references into an evidence ledger and brief, so design decisions come from what works rather than what’s fashionable.
When to use it
- You are about to design or redesign something and want evidence first.
- The team disagrees about direction and needs references to compare.
- You want patterns from real products, not gallery trends.
A practical example
You ask
“Research how five scheduling apps handle rescheduling before we redesign ours.”
Your agent does
It studies each flow, records what it saw and what it couldn’t verify, and writes a short brief with recommendations.
