Fashion app — fixing a leaky checkout.
The problem
A growing fashion mobile app had strong traffic but cart abandonment was eating their margin. They felt the checkout 'just wasn't right' but couldn't pin down why.
Our approach

- Checkout flow mapping & friction tagging
- Competitor benchmarking (3 leaders)
- Stakeholder interviews
What we found
- CriticalGuest checkout buried behind mandatory sign-up
- CriticalCart icon shows no item count
- HighNo size guide at the point of decision
- HighPayment errors return generic, unhelpful messages
- MediumNo progress indicator inside checkout
