Context

The company faced a significant drop in ARR as enterprise clients began cancelling subscriptions.

Problem

Corporate clients felt the content was too generic and not useful for strategic decisions.

Solution

I led UX Research and Product Strategy to validate a premium content vertical focused on labor law intelligence.

Research & Discovery

Through interviews with corporate clients and content analysis, I identified patterns behind subscription cancellations.



The affinity map helped synthesize the research insights and reveal a key opportunity: companies needed strategic legal intelligence, not just legal news.

Key Insights

The research revealed four important insights:

Content

Labor law information is fragmented across multiple sources, making it difficult to trust and synthesize.

Time

Professionals spend significant time searching and filtering updates to understand what actually matters.

Email

Email is the preferred channel for staying informed about legal developments.

Speed

Professionals need clear and timely insights to support fast and confident decision-making.

Opportunity

Based on these insights, we identified an opportunity to create a premium content vertical focused on labor law intelligence.

Expert Legal Analysis

Deep analysis from specialists interpreting labor law changes.

Curated Insights

Strategic summaries designed for fast executive understanding.

Exclusive Content

Premium newsletters and reports available only to subscribers.

Solution

We designed a B2B product focused on labor law intelligence, combining curated content and expert analysis to support corporate decision-making.
