How it works

What the study captures, and what your team gets back.

Sample interview probes

  • Walk me through the first time you used this. What stood out?
  • What confused you, even slightly?
  • What did you expect that wasn't there?
  • Would you buy this again at the price you saw?

What you get

  • In-use friction map with timestamped clips
  • Sentiment trajectory across first-use, day-of, week-of
  • Theme breakdown: surprise, delight, blockers
  • Verbatim list of "stop, fix, keep" recommendations
