"The collaborative interface design tool."
Design-first product company that became horizontal collaboration platform. Famously turned creative tooling into multiplayer collaboration. Score: elite Design + Build, strong GTM, broad enterprise adoption.
Sorted by score. Each dimension's score is the confidence-weighted average of its contributing signals. The "evidence" column shows the highest-confidence observation.
Every signal traces back to a public source. Click the source link to verify what DAC saw. Confidence ratings reflect how clearly the signal demonstrates the dimension it feeds.

The visible gap: adoption_expansion sits at 4.5, but the "design-system maturity → enterprise expansion" causal chain isn't publicly instrumented. Per-org design-system completeness as an expansion signal would surface where Enterprise upsell is hottest. Expected lift: +0.2 on adoption_expansion, +0.3 on customer_signal_synthesis.
If Figma adopted the coaching loop, composite +0.6 over 90 days. Design already at the ceiling; lift concentrates in Intelligence function.
