Audit Coverage

What the human audit examines

Every interface is screened against the thirteen dark patterns listed by the Central Consumer Protection Authority in the Guidelines for Prevention and Regulation of Dark Patterns, 2023.

01

False Urgency

Falsely implying scarcity or time pressure to rush users into a purchase or decision.

02

Basket Sneaking

Adding extra items, donations, or services to the cart at checkout without consent.

03

Confirm Shaming

Using guilt, fear, or shame to push users into an action

04

Forced Action

Making users buy unrelated goods, subscribe, or share data to access what they originally wanted.

05

Subscription Trap

Making cancellation of a paid subscription deliberately difficult, hidden, or impossible.

06

Interface Interference

Designing the interface to highlight one option and bury the alternative the user may prefer.

07

Bait and Switch

Advertising one outcome at an attractive price, then delivering something different or costlier.

08

Drip Pricing

Revealing mandatory charges only late in the checkout, after the headline price did its job.

09

Disguised Advertisement

Ads dressed up as organic content, reviews, or news — including undisclosed influencer promotion.

10

Nagging

Relentless, repeated prompts and interruptions that wear users down into saying yes.

11

Trick Question

Confusing, double-negative, or ambiguous wording that steers users away from their intent.

12

SaaS Billing

Recurring software charges built on silent auto-renewals, unclear cycles, or hidden fees.

13

Rogue Malwares

Fake security warnings and rogue software pushed through ads or disguised download buttons.

Forensic Investigation

Trained reviewers walk every screen and flow, logging each pattern with evidence.

03

Findings report

A sealed report with evidence, severity, and the rule it implicates - boardroom-ready.

04

Remediation

We work with your team to redesign flagged flows, then re-verify the fix.
