Free Assessment · Design Infrastructure
Is your product scaling, or is your design process breaking?
Take this diagnostic to find out where your design infrastructure stands — and exactly what to fix first.
Based on First Designer
This assessment is the interactive companion to First Designer — the operating manual for designers building infrastructure at scaling companies. The five domains map directly to the book's core chapters: Demand Routing, the Quality Supply Chain, Knowledge Infrastructure, Decision frameworks, and Scaling mechanics. Your scores tell you which chapter to open first.
