DigitalBar's spot-check usability assessments are provided by Pancentric Digital and are based on a 50-point best practice methodology across 5 review criteria plus a judge's score. The assessments offer an independent and continuously valuable benchmark for stakeholders looking to keep track of standards and innovation in the insurance sector.
The 5 review criteria
Each criterion features approximately 10 best practice questions. The question areas ask about the presence or otherwise of certain usability features and are made as objective as possible. The questions are periodically reviewed and are subject to change.
The judge's score takes a broader perspective on design refinement and overall standards in the insurance segment at the time of assessment.
