HOW THIS WORKS

Keep the assumptions visible.

This builder maps three common research goals to a qualitative method and a study structure. Participant count and timing come from your inputs; they are not validated sample-size recommendations.

Our editorial approach →
Does this run a research study?

No. It creates a draft to review. You still need to recruit participants, agree consent, pilot the guide, and collect evidence.

How does it choose a method?

A problem-discovery goal suggests behavior-based interviews; a concept goal suggests comprehension sessions; a task goal suggests usability sessions. Your constraints may require a different method.
