01. Product Constraints & Intent
Pepperkey is an invite-only broker network where trust, relevance, and timing matter more than reach. The core challenge was enabling confident deal decisions without exposing sensitive opportunities too earlyI designed the product to stay high-signal and controlled: limited visibility by default, purposeful interaction surfaces, and trust signals that support professional judgement—not engagement
02. Core Product Logic
The experience is built around a small set of deal-adjacent actions brokers repeat every day:• find relevant opportunities fast• assess credibility through profiles + network signals• move into focused, private deal conversationsSocial is intentionally secondary: it provides context and trust, while every interaction stays scoped to a real transaction
• find relevant opportunities fast
• assess credibility through profiles + network signals
• move into focused, private deal conversations

03. Execution & Outcome
The UI prioritises clarity, predictable patterns, and information density—so brokers can scan, compare, and act quicklyThe outcome is a focused MVP for closed-beta validation, with a scalable foundation across listings, profiles, messaging, and trust signals
