A visible decline in collaboration can signal risk, or a workflow that has simply changed shape.
Earlier intervention improves the chance to help, while misclassification can damage trust with healthy teams.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My designers are busy, but I’m not sure the rest of the product team is actually in the loop anymore.”
Frida Cardoso · Head of Product Design
She leads a distributed design organization whose product and engineering partners increasingly review work outside the shared canvas.
What is at stake
Non-designer participation is down 19% in large workspaces 120 days before renewal, and some of that is deliberate. You have to pick rules that will hold for a quarter, without calling healthy customers at risk.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- early intervention vs false-positive harm
- renewal coverage vs targeting precision
- automated scale vs reviewed evidence
- commercial urgency vs customer trust
- uniform motion vs workflow context
Why Figma
At Figma, sustained cross-functional participation can be an important signal of whether shared design work remains embedded.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
