Interactive Reports
Transforming static background reports into a dynamic, real-time platform — Vcheck's largest product launch to date.
Impact
Structure that scaled across the platform
I led wireframing and layout for the risk summary, section navigation, and finding-detail views, and applied and extended Vcheck's design system across the platform.

Problem
Long static PDFs were hard to navigate and long to verify.
Vcheck investigates people and companies before deals close for PE firms, law firms, and financial institutions — 150+ investigators, 25,000+ reports a year, every one a static PDF running fifty pages or more.
A typical industry standard background check report
Research
How we found most PDFs had no navigation, risks buried deep, and sources disconnected
No one reads these reports top to bottom. Analysts jump straight to what matters for their deal, and the PDF format forced linear reading onto a non-linear task. We surfaced this by listening in on conversations our sales team was already having with clients, where the same three frustrations kept coming up again and again.
Before wireframing, we gathered references from products that handle risk hierarchies and data density well — Riskline, Prenuvo, Intercom, Zapier, Anthem. I pulled and organized these as we aligned on direction.
Ideation
Structure before screens
I wireframed and ordered the risk summary, section navigation, and finding details, testing several layouts before choosing Option A as the cleanest read on risk.
Option A: A sidebar category list on the left, scrollable finding detail on the right.
Option B: Right panel into chronological timeline feed, with a condensed left nav showing breakdowns and jurisdictions.
Option C: Leads with three summary metric cards at the top, drops into card grid, each finding as its own self-contained tile.
Design System
Extending the system
Vcheck's component library was mature; my job was applying it consistently across 10+ section types and extending it where new patterns emerged.
Final Screens
Risk visible, sources linked, PDF intact
Interactive Reports, overview
We shipped three core capabilities.
Risk is visible before you read a word.
Cards organized by severity — high, medium, low — with a navigation bar to switch between risk categories by section.
Every finding links directly to its source.
The Search Audit tab documents every jurisdiction and source next to the finding it supports — no appendix, no cross-referencing.
The PDF never went away.
Clients can still export a traditional PDF, choosing exactly which sections to include.
