Product Designer

Visual hierarchy

Help readers notice the important findings first, then explore the supporting detail through clear headings and a readable report layout.

Accessible experiences

Make important information easy to find and use across screens and input methods, with readable content and clear ways to navigate.

Plain language

Explain unfamiliar terms in everyday language, giving readers enough context to understand the record and choose a useful next step.

Result meanings

Connect each report status with a plain explanation of the finding, its context and the next question a reader may need to ask.

Product guidance

Make the journey from a first vehicle search to reading a report easy to follow, with clear explanations and useful actions at each step.

Reader feedback

Listen to feedback about unclear wording or missing context, then use those questions to make the guidance more helpful to readers.

Buyer questions

Turn vehicle records into practical questions for the seller, helping buyers understand the history before deciding what to do next.

Report limitations

Keep the limits of a history check alongside its findings, so readers can see what is known and where further checks may be needed.
