The work in front of you

Make the next iteration count.

Use a focused usability report to decide what to change and what to investigate next. Bring the reasoning into your design review.

  1. UX testing

    Review a critical journey

    Focus a UX study on onboarding, an important action or a confusing decision, with a clear audience and task.

    Explore ux testing
  2. Concept testing

    Compare the thinking behind two designs

    Test alternative concepts to understand the expectations and trade-offs driving the design direction.

    Explore concept testing
  3. Depth interviews

    Understand what sits behind the friction

    Use depth interviews to explore the audience’s mental models, language and expectations.

Your next study

Where could a first-time user get stuck?

Bring a real question. We’ll scope the audience, evidence and study together.

The audience

New users trying to complete one critical task

Ground the study in customer evidence relevant to this decision.

Bring to the conversation

Start with what you have

Screens to review

Task and context

Audience evidence

From research to a decision

A focused brief for the next design iteration

Keep the question, the evidence and the next action connected.

Ask

Will a new user understand whether inviting a teammate is optional?

Examine

Look for ambiguity in the action labels, supporting copy and sequence. Review the audience evidence before treating a likely issue as a confirmed usability failure.

Act

Clarify the step, compare the revision and check task completion with real users.

It changed our perspective on what’s possible with AI in customer research.

A few useful answers

Before your first study.

No. Sunzu creates audience characters from customer evidence. UX studies explore likely friction; observed behaviour and task completion with real people remain part of your validation process.

No. Use dedicated accessibility checks and research with people with disabilities for accessibility evaluation. Sunzu’s UX benchmark concerns defects detected in a specific internal comparison.

Sunzu creates audience characters grounded in customer evidence and enriched with a behavioural corpus. They are simulations. Use findings to explore directions and sharpen questions; lived experience, unexpected behaviour and consequential decisions still need research with real people.
