Journey Steps

1Step 1 — Run usability tests that reveal truth: start with "Write tasks as goals ('pay this invoice'), never UI instructions ('click Billing')"
2Step 2 — Write surveys without garbage-in: start with "Draft research questions first; every item maps to one"
3Step 3 — Synthesize research without bias collapse: start with "Extract observations verbatim onto atomic notes with source refs"
4How it fits together: Sequence matters: tests reveal behavior, surveys quantify prevalence, synthesis ties them.
