A design critique is a structured conversation to measure a design against its goals, not a session for subjective opinions. It's a collaborative improvement session, distinct from a 'design review' which is often a final approval gate. Use it to get early, cross-disciplinary input—developers can flag feasibility issues and designers can spot inconsistencies. The biggest footgun is giving feedback without first agreeing on the user problem and design objectives; without shared goals, the critique devolves into baseless opinions.
