• Role and Process Guidance establishes pre-session prep, in-session observation, and post-session analysis with standardized reporting.
• Use Case applies to onboarding validation, feature validation, balance testing, and pre-release polish across various game genres.

Quick Start

Run a targeted playtest by defining 3–5 observable questions, preparing a per-player tracking form, and capturing synchronized video and audio recordings for analysis.
