Important delivery decisions

Practical choices that shaped how the work was delivered without destabilising the business context.

  • Design rental and purchase as connected journeys rather than separate silos.
  • Treat catalogue quality and discovery as ongoing product work.
  • Improve SEO, campaigns and operations incrementally alongside core platform features.
