Project summary

We design Scout’s product UX and UI as Larridin’s embedded partner, connecting AI adoption, usage, costs and permissions into views enterprise leaders can act on. Flows, self-serve setup and a complete design system keep that work coherent as the product grows. Website design, reports, decks, campaigns and motion carry the same foundations beyond the product.

One product, from a first look to a decision

A leader opens Scout with a question, and each module answers the next one:

  1. Overview

    • Adoption
    • Top tools
    • Shadow AI rate
  2. Adoption

    • Engagement score
    • Usage over time
  3. AI tools

    • Tool inventory
    • Approved or not
  4. Governance

    • Shadow AI
    • Enforcement
    • Access policies
  5. Surveys

    • Question bank
    • Rating scales
  6. Cost and reports

    • Cost management
    • Reports
Dense data and A clear next step
Every number has a place, and the order of the page tells a leader where to look first.
Many statuses and One glance
Authorised, unauthorised, in review, warned, blocked and monitored read the same way in every table.
Many modules and One product
Adoption, governance and surveys share filters, cards, tables and a menu, so nothing feels bolted on.

One page, read top to bottom

Found
Adoption, engagement, department and sentiment data are all true at once, and at equal weight the page gives a leader no place to start.
Decided
One order: the headline numbers, then use over time, then engagement for the company, for each department and against sentiment, and the breakdown last for whoever needs the rows.
For the user
A head of AI or a CIO gets the answer to "is it working?" in the first screen and can go down a layer only when they need to.
Dashboard design
Scout AI Adoption page: four headline numbers, AI usage trends, the company engagement score, engagement by department, sentiment against engagement and the engagement breakdown by department
After: the AI Adoption page; the figures are example data
  1. The headline numbers

    Engagement, adoption, daily users and events per user, each with its change.

  2. Use over time

    Daily active users, filtered by department.

  3. Engagement, company

    The company’s score across two-week periods, in quartiles.

  4. Engagement, by department

    The same score for each department against the company line.

  5. Sentiment against engagement

    What people think AI is worth next to how much they use it.

  6. The breakdown

    The rows behind every chart, for the reader who needs them.

How the work progressed

Not one project but a rhythm: each surface was worked out before it was drawn, on one set of foundations.

  1. User Flow

    How adoption, tools, governance, surveys and self-serve connect for each kind of reader

    Artifact Information architecture, user flows and role-based screen maps

  2. Wireframes

    Where dense tables, filters and charts sit before any styling

    Artifact Wireframes and clickable prototypes for the Scout modules

  3. UI & Design system

    One set of cards, tables, charts and status styles across the modules

    Artifact Final product UI, a complete design system and UI kit extending the client’s foundations

  4. Landing Page

    How the product is explained on the website and how a visitor signs up alone

    Artifact Product page and self-serve screens: sign-up, plan choice, team invitation

  5. Animation

    How the product shows itself in motion, on the site and at events

    Artifact Implementation-ready animation directions and product-demo, website-hero and event-video motion

  6. Delivery

    What the client’s engineers and contractors needed to build it

    Artifact Developer handoff with screen maps and the UI kit

From the first visit to a working account

Found
A self-serve product has to take a stranger from an e-mail address to a configured workspace without a sales call, inside a product built for enterprises.
Decided
The entry flows drawn screen by screen before the UI, then one side menu that groups the modules a leader moves between.
  1. Signing up

    An e-mail and an organisation, a code sent to the inbox, then the team invited before the first dashboard.

    Open the full map
    Sign-up flow: Create an Account, the e-mail verification code and the team invitation screen
  2. Choosing a plan

    Plans side by side, a checkout for a paid plan and a short form for a company that needs to talk first.

    Open the full map
    Plan flow: Choose Your Plan with three plans and a free trial, the checkout for a paid plan and the Talk to Sales form
Scout side menu: Overview, AI Adoption, AI Proficiency, AI Tools, AI Governance, Surveys and AI Impact

One menu for the analytics

From the overview down to the modules, then to surveys and impact; the current one is always marked.

  • Product information architecture
  • Side menu and workspace switcher
  • Sign-up and self-serve flows
  • Role-based screen maps

Three jobs Scout does for AI leaders

In the order a head of AI meets them.

Seeing where AI is used

Found
Adoption sits in one place, tools in another and departments in a third, so no one could say which AI was used, by whom and how much of it was approved.
Decided
An overview that answers it in one scroll (adoption, use cases, the top tools, shadow AI and departments), and an AI Tools page that turns every tool into a row with its status.
Scout overview: AI adoption by department, top AI use cases, top five AI tools, shadow AI usage rate, department analytics and the AI tool inventory
Scout AI Tools page: adoption, active users and daily events, the top five AI tools, an AI usage trend and a table of tools with approved or unapproved status

Governing what people use

Found
Knowing that unapproved tools are in use is half the job: a leader also has to see what was blocked or warned, and change a policy without leaving the page.
Decided
Governance split in two: the risk view of shadow AI, and enforcement analytics with the access policies beside them. Every status is its own state, and a policy is edited in a side panel.
Scout AI Governance page: four shadow AI rates, the top unauthorised tools, a gauge, shadow AI usage by department and a table of tools with authorised, unauthorised, in review, monitor and no monitor status
Scout Policy Enforcement Analytics: blocked usage, warnings and risky actions, the high risk tools, tool level insights and a table of access policies with block, warn and monitor
Scout settings: a table of AI apps with authorisation, category, date added, confidence score and domain, with filters and an Add App button
Configure Access Policies for Claude: a global policy of warn, block or allow, a redirect and a message for employees, and a license-level policy switch
Edit Claude panel: details and analytics tabs, authorisation, app access policies, license tracking with enterprise domains and the app’s confidence score

Asking employees directly

Found
Usage shows what people do, not what they think it is worth, and a survey tool that starts from a blank page never gets sent.
Decided
A survey builder that starts from Larridin’s recommended questions, with rating scales that read at a glance and a panel to tune each question’s type.
Scout survey builder: two questions with a rating and a time-saved scale, and the Larridin recommended questions beside them
Scout survey builder with a rating question selected and a side panel to set its style, scale and labels

One set of parts under every module

Found
Adoption, governance, surveys and self-serve are built by different needs at different times, and they still had to look like one product.
Decided
A complete design system and UI kit for the Scout scope, extending the client’s foundations: cards, tables, filters, charts and a status language shared by every module.

One status language

The same chips read the same way in a tool inventory and in a policy table.

  • A table of tools with status chips: authorized, unauthorized, in review, monitor and no monitor
    Tool status: Authorised, unauthorised, in review, monitored and not monitored, each a chip of its own.
  • A table of access policies with status chips: block, warn and monitor
    Policy status: Block, warn and monitor, in the colours the reader already knows.

One meter, every level

The risk appetite meter drawn for each level, with and without its label.

  • The risk appetite meter as a set: a gauge from green to red with a needle at each level, very low to very high, with and without its label
    Very low to very high

The same story on the website

Found
A product that sells itself to security, IT and business leaders needs a page for each of them, and the page has to look like the product.
Decided
A Scout product page in the product’s own visual language: one section per audience, built from real product screens. We delivered the design and the animation directions; the client’s contractors built it.
Scout product page: a dark hero with a product view, then a section on real-time AI discovery with a grid of new tools and their status
Scout product page section: shadow AI detection for security teams, with authorised and unauthorised apps and the AI app inventory
Scout product page section: enforce governance policies for approved AI apps, with the notice an employee sees when an app is not approved
  • Customer reports and templates

    Report designs and reusable templates, with customer names and data removed from every public version.

  • Pitch decks

    Editable presentation templates on the same foundations.

  • Campaign and event assets

    Social, newsletter, webinar, blog and event materials.

  • Motion

    Product-demo, website-hero and event-video animation.

Where Scout’s design stands

Scout’s product design is one system, from the first overview to policy settings and surveys, with a website, self-serve and reports on the same foundations.

We designed and handed off; the client’s engineers and contractors built, and not every designed screen is in the product today.

Does your product hide its hardest states?

Unauthorised, in review, blocked, warned, empty: in Scout each one is drawn as a state a leader can read. Send us the screen where your users squint, and we’ll show how we’d make it legible.
