Research
Test willingness to payCopy-paste pricing research prompt with Van Westendorp-style questions and synthesis for an AI product.
Research
Measure product-market fitCopy-paste PMF prompt to synthesize interviews or Sean Ellis-style surveys into a go / hold / pivot call.
Research
Survey Cognitive PretestTurn a draft survey into a 5-person think-aloud protocol: what to listen for, likely misreads, time estimate, and rewritten items before you field. Use after Survey Question Auditor, before the Fielding Kit.
Research
Survey Fielding KitLaunch package for a survey: who to send to, quotas and implied send volume, invitation, 3-day and 7-day reminders, thank-you, and channel variants. Not a generic email prompt.
Research
Survey Data Quality & Open-End CoderBefore analysis: exclusion rules for speeders, straightliners, and junk; then a codebook for open-ends with example recodes. Hand off a clean file to Survey Analysis Framework. Does not invent statistics.
Research
Session Debrief From TranscriptTurn one interview or usability transcript into structured notes: task outcomes, timestamped quotes, surprises, and follow-ups. Not a full-study synthesis. Run after each session; affinity mapping comes later.
Research
Concept Test ProtocolProtocol for showing a concept or prototype to learn whether the idea is understandable and desirable, not whether a flow is usable. Stimulus order, reaction probes, and build / do-not-build signals.
Research
Diary Study SetupLongitudinal protocol: research questions suited to diaries, cadence, daily prompts, dropout plan, and a debrief guide. Use when one interview cannot see behavior over time.
Research
Participant Consent & Session CommsPlain-language consent and logistics: recording, data use, how to stop, incentive, and calendar copy. Variants for interviews, usability tests, surveys, and diaries.
Research
Mixed-Source Research SynthesisCombine already-coded interviews, surveys, and analytics into one report. For a single session use Session Debrief From Transcript. To cluster interview notes, use Affinity Mapping Assistant, then Research Insight Statement Writer.
Research
User Research Recruitment PlanCreate participant criteria and recruitment materials for user research studies.
Research
User Persona CreationStakeholder-facing personas from research you already have. Do not invent demographics. Prefer Behavioral Persona From Research after affinity or insight statements; use this only when the room still wants a named persona card.
Research
Interview Batch ReportFirst-pass report across several interview notes. For one session use Session Debrief From Transcript. For a full study use Affinity Mapping Assistant, then Research Insight Statement Writer. Same outline as Mixed-Source Research Synthesis, interview-only.
Research
Survey Question GeneratorDesign effective, unbiased survey questions that yield actionable insights.
Research
UX Research Plan GeneratorScaffold a full research plan from a vague stakeholder ask: objectives, methods, participants, phased timeline, deliverables, assumptions to validate, and risks. For usability-only scope, pair with the Usability Test Plan prompt.
Research
Research Question SharpenerTurn a vague or bloated stakeholder question into scorable, method-mapped research questions with prioritization and out-of-scope flags. Use before writing a discussion guide or survey.
Research
Participant Screener Survey BuilderDraft a recruitment screener with intro copy, behavioral and qualifying items, explicit disqualifiers, routing notes, and recruiter guidance. Goes deeper than a high-level recruitment plan.
Research
Moderated Discussion Guide GeneratorSession-ready moderator guide for usability tests, generative interviews, concept tests, or diary debriefs: timed sections, scripts, tasks with probes, concept reactions, and moderator reminders. Broader than a usability-only script; use Usability Test Script for a task-heavy usability template.
Research
Survey Question AuditorQuality-check a draft survey before launch: leading language, double-barreled items, scale mismatches, bias, order effects, and more. Pairs with Survey Question Generator for write-then-audit workflows.
Research
Affinity Mapping AssistantSynthesize raw qual data (interviews, usability, diaries) using an affinity-style flow: clean, code, cluster into themes with evidence counts, outliers, severity-weighted ranking, and surprises.
Research
Research Insight Statement WriterTurn themes and observations into decision-ready insight statements (Observation, Pattern, Implication, Recommendation) plus a short exec "So What" summary. Use after synthesis or affinity output.
Research
Research Readout BuilderBuild a research readout deck structure: TL;DR, overview, one slide per finding with evidence and recommendations, prioritized actions, unknowns, appendix, plus speaker notes. More research-specific than generic shareouts.
Research
Behavioral Persona From ResearchBuild 2-4 behaviorally distinct personas from qual synthesis: archetype, grounded quote, mental model, needs vs wants, day-in-life, design implications - without inventing demographics. Complements the broader User Persona Creation prompt.
Research
Research Request PrioritizationScore and rank incoming research requests against capacity using business impact, urgency, knowledge gap, feasibility, and customer impact (weighted), plus roadmap order and a template to communicate deprioritization.
Research
A/B Test Design TemplateDesign rigorous A/B tests with clear hypotheses, metrics, and success criteria.
Research
Beta Program Feedback SurveyFilled-in survey starter for a beta cohort (satisfaction, launch-readiness, must-fix). If this is not a beta, use Survey Question Generator, then Survey Question Auditor.
Research
A/B Test Sample Size GuideCalculate required sample size and test duration for statistically valid experiments.
Research
A/B Test Decision FrameworkMake rigorous ship/no-ship decisions based on experiment results.
Research
Usability Test Script & Moderator GuideCreate detailed test scripts and moderator guides for running usability test sessions with specific tasks, questions, and facilitation tips.
Research
Survey Analysis FrameworkAnalyze survey data to extract design insights, identify patterns, and generate actionable recommendations.
Research
Usability Test PlanCreate a comprehensive usability test plan with scenarios, tasks, and success metrics.
Research
User Interview GuideSimple generative interview outline: objectives, question sets, probes. Need a timed session with tasks or a concept? Use Moderated Discussion Guide Generator, Usability Test Script, or Concept Test Protocol instead.

Standing instructions and skills beat re-pasting the same workflow every session.
