Usability benchmarking
Optimise your user experience
Score, compare and improve the usability of your digital journeys
Rank the usability of your transactional and service journeys, and your online brochureware, and benchmark this against your competitors with our specialist Usability Scoring System.
Gain the competitive edge
An independent measure of usability
Whether your digital experience is designed internally or via partners, our 50-point usability test provides you with an independent assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of your offering, and how this compares with competitor propositions in your sector. Tests can be undertaken for live and prototype journeys.
Pancentric's Usability Scoring System has been developed over years of consultancy engagements and across a wide range of sectors and digital settings. In late 2022, a version of the same scoring system is being featured on the DigitalBar insurance benchmarking platform - a joint initiative with FinTech consulting firm Altus.
Delivering Valuable Insights
How the Usability Scoring System works
The Scoring System covers 5 key usability categories:
Task orientation
Logic, layout, status information
Interactivity
Helpfulness of the site behaviour
Data entry
Ease, accuracy and efficiency of journeys.
Help & error tolerance
Wider support & tolerances of the experience
Each category contains up to 10 usability questions with each question rated on a 1-5 scale.
Each Category score represents a percentage of the maximum achievable score and the total score represents the average score of all 5 categories also combining a sixth Judge's category score. Categories can carry different weightings which change periodically as new usability conventions emerge and older conventions commodities.
Scores are presented in tabular and radar chart form and can be supported with helpful advice and commentaries from Pancentric's Usability Consultants.
