The interface was doing the damage
A model, process, or policy problem was often amplified by a surface that hid the state or consequence.
THIRTY STUDIES · NINE SECTORS · ANONYMISED
Each study connects the product failure to the interaction that changed it. You can see the role, timeline, team, baseline, outcome, interface details, design decisions, research artefacts, and client-evidence boundary.

NINE CONTEXTS
AI trust, sales behaviour, attribution, consumer choice, enterprise operations, credit, care, degraded systems, and procurement do not deserve the same template.
THE FULL LIBRARY
Filter by context or read in sequence. Every card opens the complete study.

An AI agent that shows its work before it acts, not after.
Action preview ready
Where the model is wrong, and how the interface says so.
Action preview ready
Retrieval you can audit, for a regulator who will ask.
Action preview ready
The prompt is not the interface. The workflow is.
Action preview ready
Onboarding an AI product is teaching a mental model, not a feature tour.
A sequence builder that shows the human on the other end.

Call intelligence that produces a decision, not a transcript.
Segment building for people who do not write SQL.

Attribution that states what it cannot know.
Campaign QA that catches the mistake before the send.
Confidence 86%
Size selection as a conversation, not a chart.
Confidence 86%
Subscription management that does not punish pausing.

WHAT HELD ACROSS THE LIBRARY
These are positions we would defend in a product review, regardless of sector or aesthetic.
A model, process, or policy problem was often amplified by a surface that hid the state or consequence.
Confidence bands, provenance, disagreement, and boundary increased trust more than false certainty.
The best next action lived beside the evidence, exception, or person it affected.
Recovery, pause, decline, correction, and exit were designed as product features.
Weak signal, peak volume, partial data, permission mismatch, and human stress exposed the real system.
People need to know what happened, what changes next, who owns it, and how to reverse or escalate it.
