Visual QA overhead compounds across every sprint.
SaaS teams ship continuously. Every sprint closes with a review cycle where designers and QA check that implementations reflect the Figma design. That cycle is manual, inconsistent, and gets harder to absorb the faster the team ships.
Small deviations: a font weight, a spacing value, a colour token. None get caught until a stakeholder notices them after release. By then, fixing them means scoping unplanned rework into a sprint that's already moving.
A repeatable verification step before release changes that calculus.
