Challenge

Strong work starts by defining the real problem.

Readers were overwhelmed by news volume but underserved by relevance, creating a need for a smarter aggregation product with a personalised reading experience.

  • What was slowing Paperly down?
  • Which workflow or customer journey needed to become clearer?
  • What should the technology make easier for the business?
  • How should the system support growth after launch?
Insight
The work had to connect business need, user journey and technical delivery.

Scriptwall built the frontend, backend, authentication, news categorisation, relevance ranking and deployment pipeline for a subscription-ready news intelligence product.

  • Understand the operational problem before choosing the interface.
  • Organise the experience around the user's next decision.
  • Preserve useful existing knowledge and remove unnecessary friction.
  • Build a technical foundation that can support future iteration.

Step 01

Problem Definition

Readers were overwhelmed by news volume but underserved by relevance, creating a need for a smarter aggregation product with a personalised reading experience.

Treat the business problem as the source of the technical architecture.

Step 02

Solution Architecture

Scriptwall built the frontend, backend, authentication, news categorisation, relevance ranking and deployment pipeline for a subscription-ready news intelligence product.

Design the platform around clear handoffs, measurable actions and maintainable delivery.

Step 03

Delivery Evidence

The engagement produced practical assets, working systems and a clearer path from customer or staff action to business outcome.

Make the outcome visible through the experience, not just through project documentation.
