Hi Cay,
We use a set of principles to guide our design services for our Members.
Our design services are evidence-based, that is we do a lot of routine testing of existing and new prototype designs to diagnose design faults and fix them before new designs are launched.
If a Member decides to ignore our evidence-based advice, and we believe that such action might jepordise the design's users, we issue what we call an 'all-care-and-no-responsibility' letter.
Is this the sort of thing you are interested in?
David
