The fix queue

24 points sit between huegrid.com and 100: 4 open questions and 6 missing protocol checks, ordered by estimated payoff.

Point estimates are per fix under scoring v2. They are not additive to a promised total.

01Is there a minimum project size or budget they require before taking on a new client?getting-startedHedges+3 pts est.

Is there a minimum project size or budget they require before taking on a new client?

What the pages say

Huegrid does not explicitly state a minimum project budget or size requirement. Their project enquiry page indicates typical engagements involve a $7–10K/mo investment and a 4–6 week duration.

The fix

Explicitly state whether the $7–10K/mo figure represents a minimum engagement size or if smaller projects are accepted.

02What specific deliverables — like brand guidelines, design systems, or source files — do clients receive at project completion?deliverablesPage missing+3 pts est.

What specific deliverables — like brand guidelines, design systems, or source files — do clients receive at project completion?

What the pages say

The site does not publish a consolidated list of standard completion deliverables, but project case studies mention specific outputs: clickable Figma prototypes and line-animation demos (Jack Strategy); a full Webflow build with components, forms, and animation plus client training to run the site afterward (Townhall); design systems with token sets, shared libraries, and design-to-code pipelines (Aampe); and brand identity systems (Interleap).

The fix

Create a dedicated 'Deliverables' or 'What You Get' page that lists standard project completion outputs—such as brand guidelines, design systems, source files, prototypes, and training—so buyers know exactly what they receive.

03Do they always begin with a paid discovery phase before moving into full design execution?processHedges+3 pts est.

Do they always begin with a paid discovery phase before moving into full design execution?

What the pages say

The Project Enquiry page describes an initial call and a weekly deliverable rhythm, and case studies for Dover and Interleap mention discovery and user research as part of project work, but the chunks do not specify whether Huegrid always begins engagements with a separate paid discovery phase before full design execution.

The fix

Clarify on the Project Enquiry or a dedicated Process page whether engagements always begin with a separate paid discovery phase, or explicitly describe how discovery is scoped within projects.

04How many designers are typically assigned to a single client project?operationsHedges+3 pts est.

How many designers are typically assigned to a single client project?

What the pages say

HueGrid does not specify the exact number of designers typically assigned to a single client project. The site states that projects are handled by 'One cross-functional team' covering brand, product, web, motion, and build, and that engagements are 'Founder-direct' with 'no account layer.'

The fix

Add a specific line on the Project Enquiry or About page clarifying typical team size, for example: 'Each project is staffed with 1 lead designer and 2 specialists.'

contactAnswered

What is the best way to contact them — through a form, email, or scheduling a call?

What the pages say

HueGrid offers three contact paths on their Project Enquiry page (/talk): a “Tell us your need” enquiry, “Email me this estimate,” and “Schedule a call” (also labeled “Talk it through”). The call is described as “Twenty minutes, no deck, no pitch. We look at what you're building and tell you honestly if we're the right fit.” The site presents all three as parallel options and does not explicitly rank one as best.

Do they offer both brand identity and digital product design, or is their focus limited to one area?

What the pages say

HueGrid offers both brand identity and digital product design; their focus is not limited to one area. Their offerings page lists both ‘Digital Products’ (including production front-ends, design systems, and UX writing) and ‘Branding & Marketing’ (including brand strategy, creative direction, and brand system harnesses). Project pages explicitly describe engagements as ‘Branding & Product Design’—for example, the Aampe project—and their project enquiry form includes both ‘Brand identity’ and ‘Product’ as options.

Do they work with international clients, or do they only partner with companies based in India?

Their portfolio includes international work for San Francisco-based Aampe, a Hong Kong payments company (Finverse), an Abu Dhabi real estate builder (Darna), a Brooklyn firm (Jack Strategy), and a global manufacturer (Dover), alongside Indian clients such as Scapia, Lendingkart, and Capri Global.

integrationAnswered

Will they collaborate with our in-house engineering team during implementation, or do they hand off designs and step back?

What the pages say

HueGrid collaborates with in-house teams during implementation rather than handing off static designs and stepping back. On the 1990 Research Studio project, they state that "Animation and interaction ideation carried through into the Framer implementation, rather than being handed off as a static spec," and that they "worked closely with their team to get the CMS working as intended." For Aampe, they note that "Design and engineering share one source of truth for product UI, down to the NX screens." Their Capri Global engagement involved "Ongoing design support ran alongside Capri's own product teams as a steady design partner." They also describe a typical engagement as "One cross-functional team. Brand, product, web, motion, build" and emphasize that "We train your people. On what we build."

Do they provide ongoing monthly retainer support after a project ends, or only one-time engagements?

What the pages say

HueGrid provides ongoing retainer support, not just one-time engagements. The Capri Global case study is explicitly described as an "ongoing retainer" and "a retainer, not a one-off," where HueGrid acts as a "steady design partner" providing "ongoing design support." Their Project Enquiry page also notes they are "Long-term by design. Months, not sprints" and references "ongoing work" alongside typical engagements.

Do they work out of a physical studio that clients can visit, or are they fully remote?

What the pages say

WebMCP: two parts

WebMCP-capable browsers run the widget at runtime. Crawlers without JS rendering need the discovery manifest to find your tool surface. Install both.

1 · Widget script

Drop in <head>. In browsers with WebMCP, this script registers your site's tools with navigator.modelContext.registerTool().
