Transforming manual DDQ work into an AI-assisted workflow

OVERVIEW

Norric is an AI-native operating system that helps private market firms respond to institutional DDQ and RFP requests, structuring how answers are reused, reviewed, and approved. As a Product Designer Intern, my role wasn't to "add AI," but to design a system where AI supports speed and consistency while humans retain ownership over judgment and risk. This project was about designing boundaries, not automation for its own sake.

What began as a weak A/B testing tool lacked real value. Instead of scaling it, I stopped development, returned to users, and reframed the product around their actual decision-making needs. Within five months, the rebuilt version became the foundation of CRM campaigns for 50+ businesses.

[ Problem ]

During fundraising, IR teams spend hundreds of hours on manual DDQ data entry and tagging due to rigid, generic software.
