For Designers
Design is decisions. Map the ones that matter.
Most designers track designs in Figma and decisions in notes that nobody reads. Scopic is where you map the reasoning: what connects to what, why, and what it means for the work.

Design work leaves behind two kinds of artefacts: the files and the thinking. Figma holds the files. The thinking lives in Slack threads, presentation decks, and the head of whoever was in the room.
When a decision gets revisited six months later, nobody can trace where it came from. The research that informed it, the constraints that shaped it, the tradeoffs that were accepted — all of it is gone. The design stays. The reasoning disappears.
Scopic is for the reasoning. Map the relationship between a user insight and the design decision it drove. Connect a stakeholder concern to the component it shaped. See the whole picture of why the work looks the way it does.
Map your research to your decisions
Draw a connection between a user finding and the design choice it produced. Name it — 'drove', 'challenged', 'confirmed'. Open the connection and add the original source, a note about the tradeoff, a date. The link is a record, not just an arrow.

Every stakeholder, every constraint, mapped
Put the people, the requirements, and the design artefacts in the same map. Connect a stakeholder to the constraint they own. Connect that constraint to the component it shaped. Filter to see only the relationships that matter for a given decision.

Share the thinking, not just the output
A public share link gives anyone on the team a read-only view of your map. They can see the connections, open any element or connection as a record, and follow the reasoning without needing a Scopic account.

What people say
I've been trying to explain to engineers why a component looks the way it does. In Scopic I can show them the research, the constraints, and the decision — all connected. That conversation is so much easier now.

Six months into a project and I can still trace why we made a certain call. The map holds the reasoning. My notes never did.

Figma shows what we built. Scopic shows why we built it. I didn't know I needed that separation until I had it.

Tried to map a design system component library in Notion. Got a table. Tried it in Scopic. Got a network I can actually navigate.

Design is decisions. Map the ones that matter.
The situation
Figma holds the designs. Notion holds the tickets. Slack holds the conversations. The reasoning that connects all three exists nowhere.
When a design decision gets revisited months later, nobody can trace where it came from. The research, the constraints, the tradeoffs — all of it was real when it happened and gone by the time it matters.
What changes
In Scopic, the decisions live alongside the artefacts. A user insight connects to the design choice it drove. A stakeholder constraint connects to the component it shaped. You can follow the thread from finding to decision to outcome.
The map holds the reasoning. When something gets questioned, you open the connection and show your work.
Maps you'd build
- User research map
Connect research findings to the design decisions they drove. Open any connection to see the source and the tradeoff.
- Design system rationale
Map the components in your system to the decisions and constraints that shaped them.
- Stakeholder landscape
Who owns which requirements. Which constraints came from where. How they connect to the work.
- Decision log
Every major design decision as an element with its inputs, alternatives considered, and outcome connected.
