Design Review Improvement Calculator
Your most critical product decisions are made every day in design reviews.
But the way engineering teams conduct those reviews isn't working. Reviews take too long, don't engage the right subject matter experts and have no centralized documentation.
With CoLab, teams improve every one of these metrics -- resulting in 2x faster reviews.
Take the quiz and compare your reviews to the aggregated results from real CoLab customers.

Design review effectiveness (quality + speed) is the #1 predictor of on-time NPD project delivery. We want to help you run your best design reviews, so your team can work together better. And, most importantly, bring life-changing products to the market years sooner.
Thousands of engineers use CoLab every day to do just that. Here’s the results they see:
How many reviewers participate in a design review?
Most teams conduct design reviews ad hoc, in meetings. This means you don’t always involve the right people and the people who are involved can only give feedback in the meeting.
With CoLab, teams include any subject matter expert in a design review -- on their time. This means they get more of the right people involved in a technical review package.

How much feedback are you generating on a single file?
Most teams document their design feedback in spreadsheets, emails, or PowerPoint slides. Some teams even use free CAD viewers with markup features.
Problem is – this approach turns documentation into an administrative task. The more thoroughly you document, the more work you create for yourself and your team.
With CoLab, reviews and decision making get tracked automatically as you do the work. Engineers can do what they do best, and CoLab will support them with record-keeping in the background.
Companies that use CoLab generate 143 issues per review, on average.
How fast does your team complete design reviews?
Design reviews take too long. For most teams, the review process could take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months.
And it’s because the way teams conduct reviews hasn’t changed in 10+ years. But with more people’s expertise required and an increasing pressure to move faster, it’s hard to get the feedback you need in a reasonable time frame.
With CoLab, teams complete reviews 2x faster. On average, teams start and close a design review in 22 days.
How does your design review process improve over time?
Engineering exists to make things better. Using data, technical knowledge and experience, engineers are on a constant mission for improvement and innovation.
But, when it comes to design review, engineers don’t have the essential tool they need to improve design reviews: data.
With CoLab, teams not only get data on nearly every aspect of design reviews, but just by using the tool, they improve.
Teams who use CoLab, create and resolve more design issues faster the more they use the system.
