Design System Audit

Why audit

A design system is not tooling. It is the API between brand and product — and like every API, it needs to be maintained, versioned, and tested for stability. We show you where your API holds, where it breaks, and where it costs you money today.

Work packages

Inventory

Token inventory, component catalog, dependency graph. What is actually there, what is actually used, and which versions live in parallel in the repo.

Gap analysis

API breaks between design and code, undocumented components, vendor risks in the stack. We measure maturity per area instead of issuing a single grade.

Assessment

Every finding gets effort, impact, and risk. Prioritization by leverage, not by favourite topic. The result is a sorted list, not a point cloud.

Recommendation

A concrete next step with a budget envelope — quick win, mid-term refactor, or full rebuild. Clear yes/no recommendations instead of an 80-page report.

Questions

Questions an audit answers.

  • Token Coverage

    Which tokens actually live in code — and which only exist in Figma?

  • Component Maturity

    How well do your components cover real product flows without teams forking?

  • API Stability

    What breaks when you minor-bump the token layer — and would anyone notice?

  • Documentation Gaps

    Where do teams work around the design system because the docs are missing?

  • Vendor Risk

    Which external dependencies would you struggle to explain in an audit?

  • Accessibility

    Which of your components would pass an accessibility audit today?
