Real outcomes
It's not the wireframe.
It's the user.
UI design students lose points for designs that fail usability heuristics, missing accessibility, or wireframes that ignored content hierarchy. AskSia tightens those.
3.2->3.8+0.6
For my design systems final I dropped the brief into AskSia and got a documented token system with citations to the foundational systems I had referenced. Professor used it as exemplar.
3.0->3.7+0.7
The portfolio helper structured my case studies with problem, process, and outcome sections. Cleaned up three projects in one afternoon. Got two internship interviews that week.
