Your score

Tick the statements above to see your score.

  • 0 to 2 ticks. Design is keeping up. Keep checking as you grow.
  • 3 to 5 ticks. Design gaps are starting to cost you in sales cycles, support time or retention. A senior designer, even part-time, can set direction quickly.
  • 6 or more ticks. Design is likely holding back growth. It's worth planning your first design hire or bringing in senior help now.
