The Challenge

Chariot aimed to build a crowdfunding platform where trust and transparency were central to the user experience. The platform needed to support multiple user roles while maintaining clarity and ease of use. 

Key challenges included understanding diverse stakeholder expectations, designing clear information flows, and preventing user confusion by carefully defining permissions and actions across different user types. 

Key Pain Points 

  • Unclear communication between stakeholders and users 
  • Complex information flow affecting donor confidence 
  • Multiple user roles with overlapping actions 
  • Risk of user confusion due to unrestricted permissions
