Direct answer / 01
What is UX research?
UX research is the structured study of how people use a product and what they need from it, using methods such as user interviews, usability testing, surveys, analytics analysis, card sorting and competitive review. It produces evidence — not opinions — about where users struggle, which features matter, and what language they use to describe their own problem. Research is typically split into generative work, which shapes what to build, and evaluative work, which checks whether what you built actually works.
Methods
Research methods we use
02
Usability studies
Task-based sessions, moderated or unmoderated, that reveal exactly where users hesitate or fail.
03
Surveys at scale
Quantitative validation of patterns spotted in qualitative work, sized for statistical confidence.
04
Analytics and funnel review
Behavioural data mined for drop-off points that deserve a research question.
05
Card sorting and tree testing
Evidence-based information architecture, tested before navigation is built.
06
Competitive analysis
What comparable products do well, where they fail, and where the opening is.
01 — Research
02 — Prototype
03 — Validate
Output
Findings that change decisions
Every study ends with prioritised findings tied to specific design or product actions, with severity ratings and supporting evidence — clips, quotes and task metrics.
We deliver a research repository rather than a one-off deck, so insight compounds instead of being rediscovered next quarter.

Useful answers
Questions,
clarified.
UX research studies how people use a product and what they need from it, using interviews, usability testing, surveys and behavioural data, to ground design and product decisions in evidence.
For qualitative usability work, five to eight participants per user group typically surface the large majority of significant issues. Quantitative studies need larger samples sized to the confidence level required.
Usability testing is one method within UX research. Research more broadly also covers generative work — interviews, field studies, surveys — that shapes what to build in the first place.
A focused usability study runs about two weeks including recruitment, sessions and reporting. Discovery research with multiple methods typically takes three to five weeks.
Yes. We recruit to an agreed screener through research panels, or work with your own customer base where the product is specialised.
