From Hypothesis to Certainty: Our mixed Method Approach
Reduce the risks in your product decisions
To get the full picture, we combine in-depth qualitative insights with robust quantitative data. Qualitative methods help us understand the “why” - the motivations, needs and pain points of your users. Quantitative methods provide us with the “what” and “how many” - measurable data that reveals patterns and trends.
Our Qualitative Methods
Unlock the Power of Human Stories: Where Qualitative Research Drives Business Success
In-Depth Interviews
Intensive 1:1 interviews with users to explore needs, motivations and behaviors. Understand the ‘why’ behind user behaviors and transform raw feedback into strategic product decisions.
Duration: 45-60 minutes
Ideal for: User understanding, problem exploration
Outcome: Detailed insights into user perspectives
Contextual Inquiry
Observation and interviews of users in their natural environment while using the product. Uncover the crucial gap between what users say they do and what they actually do – revealing real-world usage patterns and unexpected pain points that only emerge in natural settings.
Duration: 1-2 hours per session
Ideal for: Workflow analysis, user behavior in context
Outcome: Realistic usage scenarios and pain points
Focus Groups
Moderated group discussions on specific topics or product aspects. Turn diverse user perspectives into powerful product insights through facilitated group discussions.
Duration: 90-120 minutes
Ideal for: Concept feedback, idea generation
Outcome: Diverse perspectives and group interactions
Usability Testing
Observation of users performing specific tasks with the product.
Duration: 30-45 minutes per session
Ideal for: UX optimization, function validation
Outcome: Concrete usability problems and potential for improvement
Expert Review
Systematic evaluation by UX experts based on heuristics and best practices. Get rapid, actionable insights to improve your user experience without the time investment of full user testing.
Duration: 2-3 days
Ideal for: Quick UX improvements, compliance checks
Outcome: Prioritized recommendations for action
Card Sorting & Tree Testing
Methods for optimizing information architecture and navigation through user participation. Design navigation that feels natural to your users by organizing content the way they think.
Duration: 30-45 minutes per session
Ideal for: Structuring content, navigation tests
Outcome: Optimized information architecture
Our Quantative Methods
Unlock the Power of Human Stories: Where Qualitative Research Drives Business Success
Online Surveys
Structured surveys of large user groups with standardized questionnaires. Get the numbers to validate your assumptions and convince stakeholders with statistical evidence.
Scope: 100+ participants
Ideal for: Broad data collection, trend analyses
Outcome: Statistically analyzable user data
A/B Testing
Comparative tests of different product variants with performance measurement. Move beyond opinion-based decisions with clear performance data that shows which design truly drives better results.
Duration: 1-4 weeks
Ideal for: Design decisions, conversion optimization
Outcome: Statistically significant performance comparisons
Analytics Analysis
Evaluation of usage data and behavioral metrics. Discover behavioral patterns at scale and identify optimization opportunities hidden in your usage data.
Period: Continuous or project-related
Ideal for: Usage behavior, performance tracking
Outcome: Usage patterns and trends
Benchmark Studies
Systematic comparison with competitors or industry standards. Turn competitor insights into your strategic advantage and identify gaps in the market.
Scope: 5-10 comparison products
Ideal for: Competitive analysis, positioning
Outcome: Comparative key performance indicators
Eye Tracking
Precise measurement and analysis of eye movements during product use. Discover exactly what catches your users’ attention and what they overlook.
Scope: 15-20 participants
Ideal for: Visual design, content optimization
Outcome: Heat maps, attention maps, quantitative gaze data
Kano Feature Prioritization
Systematic evaluation of features according to their importance for user satisfaction. Build the right features in the right order by understanding what truly matters to your users.
Scope: 100+ participants
Ideal for: Feature prioritization, product strategy
Outcome: Categorized feature matrix (e.g. for MVPs)
Opportunity Gap Analysis
Quantitative evaluation of market opportunities based on importance and satisfaction (OpScore). Discover the most profitable gaps in the market by quantifying where user needs aren’t being met.
Scope: 200+ participants
Ideal for: Market potential analysis, product strategy
Outcome: Prioritized opportunity scores
Our mixed methods approach
The combination of qualitative and quantitative methods enables us to understand both the breadth and depth of your user groups. Typical combinations are:
Feature Evaluation
Combination of Kano analysis for quantitative prioritization with qualitative interviews for a deeper understanding of user requirements.
UX Optimization
Expert reviews combined with eye tracking and usability tests for holistic user experience improvements.
