Form follows function
Every surface reveals the information and action needed for the current decision. Decoration never competes with the task.

What is making the current experience feel unintuitive
The structure is hidden behind individual screens
- 01 The lab starts too close. It opens inside one screen before the user understands the full lifecycle.
- 02 Navigation has competing scopes. Persona, journey, step, state, and inspection controls all demand attention at once.
- 03 Cross-role handoffs are invisible. Submission, review, launch, participation, and closeout look like separate products.
- 04 The prototype over-promises functionality. At least 39 researcher and reviewer controls have no specific behavior, while participant safeguards and outer navigation do not consistently gate progression.
- 05 The participant journey mixes different kinds of things. Voice and privacy are utilities, completion is a state, yet all are presented as equivalent sequential steps.
- 06 A long-lived service is modelled as one wizard. Study creation, formal review, live operations, and closeout need durable workspaces and queues, not one Next-button sequence.

One lifecycle, visible everywhere
Draft, submitted, approved, live, and closed use one vocabulary for researchers, reviewers, and participants.
Progressive disclosure
Start with the next meaningful choice. Reveal protocol detail, evidence, and controls when the user asks for them.
Privacy is a control surface
Consent, local processing, exports, retention, and withdrawal remain understandable and reachable throughout the study.
Recovery is part of the path
Offline, validation, governance, and empty states explain what happened, what remains safe, and how to continue.
Accessible by construction
Semantic structure, visible focus, keyboard operation, plain language, and adaptable text are default product behavior.
