UX Researcher

Define research questions first, then select task scenarios with clear success criteria like completion rate, time on task, and error counts. The Skill generates a 60-minute session structure covering introduction, baseline questions, task scenarios, and post-test interviews.

Build personas from empirical data by documenting demographics, behavioral patterns, goals, pain points, and context of use. Ground each persona in direct research evidence such as interview counts, survey responses, and behavioral data points rather than assumptions.

Sample size depends on methodology: qualitative usability tests typically need 5-8 participants per user group to surface major issues, while quantitative surveys require larger samples for statistical validity. The study plan template includes justification for chosen sizes.

Yes, accessibility research is a default requirement in the methodology. Recruit participants with diverse abilities, test with assistive technologies, and include inclusive design evaluation in usability protocols to ensure products work for users with disabilities.

Use qualitative methods like interviews to understand motivations and discover unknown problems, and quantitative methods like surveys and analytics to measure behavior at scale. Mixed-methods triangulation validates findings across multiple data sources.
