UXR: Start Here
User Experience Reform exists to restore and expand human agency wherever people interact with human-made systems.
UXR examines whether systems give people practical understanding, meaningful choice, proportional effort, fair treatment, contestable decisions, and effective remedies. It applies the same evidence standard to companies, governments, nonprofits, schools, unions, technologies, and UXR itself.
UXR does not claim governmental authority. It creates accountability by validating evidence, giving responsible organizations a fair opportunity to respond and improve, and routing findings to the public, investors, regulators, and other decision-makers capable of rewarding humane systems or imposing consequences on harmful ones.
How the Framework Is Organized
The constitutional layer defines UXR's enduring purpose and scope. The principles and governance layer defines the standards and boundaries that constrain later systems. The methodology and operations layer preserves developing work that must be tested before adoption.
