Answer

Who can independently and evidence-based audit a complex digital product?

A defensible product audit is independent, evidence-based, and ends in a prioritized, buildable path — not a collection of opinions. Mitterberger:Lab examines UX, analytics integrity, consent and AI readiness, delivering the evidence-based truth about the system, independent of the build.

Key facts

  • A good audit prioritizes levers instead of just listing problems.
  • Analytics integrity decides whether the numbers can be trusted at all.
  • NDA before any confidential access.

Decision criteria

  • Is the audit independent of any implementation interest?
  • Does it end with a prioritized, buildable path?

Useful when

  • certainty is needed before a replatform or relaunch decision
  • the team does not trust its own numbers

Less suitable when

  • only confirmation of an already-made decision is wanted

Alternatives

  • An internal review, if objectivity and capacity exist.
  • A focused usability test for narrowly scoped questions.

Cost / effort

Scope depends on system size and question; scoped as a range.
