What is the Design Compass?
For individuals or teams starting out in product design who want to explore the basics of marketable, sustainable, and responsible design without financial commitment.
Basic gives you access to the foundational Design Compass experience, helping you explore ideas through core tools and structured guidance. It introduces the framework, the key questions behind successful product development, and the wider considerations that shape commercial viability, environmental impact and social responsibility.
Ideal for students, early-stage founders, junior designers, small teams and anyone beginning a project who wants to understand how the Design Compass works before moving into more guided support.
It gives you a practical introduction to the framework and helps you build a more informed, structured foundation in product development from the start. It also encourages you to think beyond the immediate idea by considering the wider consequences of design and development decisions early in the process.
Learn
For designers, founders and teams who want more in-depth guidance as they work through product, sustainability and responsibility questions.
Advanced adds Expert Chat to the core Design Compass experience. It gives you a growing panel of AI experts by your side as you develop, so you can dive in and chat with one or more experts as you work through ideas, questions and decisions in real time.
Perfect for designers, consultants, founders and teams who want direct support while balancing commercial viability with sustainability and social responsibility in their design and development decisions.
It gives you access to specialist guidance across multiple areas of design thinking, including general product development, sustainability, circular economy and ethical design, with more experts being added over time. Rather than relying on general-purpose AI, you are engaging with a tool built around the Design Compass, trained on our curated knowledge base and shaped for practical development work.

For businesses, startups and teams developing products or services that need more structured support, clearer project visibility and a practical way to capture and communicate progress.
Pro includes everything in Advanced, plus Projects: a guided, project-led workspace built around the Design Compass structure. It helps you work through your idea in detail, identify design challenges between segments, understand associated risks, and build a clearer picture of how decisions in one area affect outcomes in another.
Tailored for businesses, startups and product teams who are actively shaping a concept and need a more rigorous process for developing ideas while considering commercial viability, environmental impact and social responsibility together.
Projects helps turn discussion into structured project development. It guides you through the compass questions, highlights cross-segment challenges and risks, supports you in resolving them, and creates a scoping document that can be used to communicate your idea to third parties such as investors, design partners or internal stakeholders.

Ideal for larger organisations, institutions and regulated sectors where multiple departments need to align around design decisions, often across different levels of product maturity, technical complexity or internal process.
Ultra is designed for organisations that need the Design Compass to do more than support individual users. Through collaborative setup, workshops and tailored configuration, it becomes a shared, structured way to balance commercial viability, environmental impact and social responsibility using your language, your standards and your knowledge base.>
