Study settings
We test where the work happens, or as close to it as safely possible
The setting is chosen to match the decision you face. Early products start in controlled tests. Products nearing launch move to simulation and live pilots.
Approach
Every engagement follows the same four steps, adapted to your product, your users and the decision you need to make.
We turn what you want to say about your product into a precise question a study can answer.
Output: evaluation question and success criteria
We choose the users, tasks, conditions and measures that will answer the question credibly.
Output: study protocol
Simulation, lab or pilot settings with the people who will actually use the product.
Output: collected data and observations
We analyze results, explain failures and rank the changes that matter most.
Output: report and recommendation
What we measure
How often the system is right, across typical and difficult cases.
Whether people make better decisions with the system than without it.
Time to decision and effort saved in real tasks.
How demanding the task feels and how attention is spent.
How easily people learn and use the product, with standard scales.
Whether people trust the system the right amount, neither too much nor too little.
Which mistakes happen and whether people catch them.
How the product fits handoffs, interruptions and existing tools.
