Design The Study

Test or preview a study

Check the participant experience and output expectations before sharing a study.

Test every study before you share it widely.

The goal is not to produce a perfect answer. The goal is to catch confusing wording, missing context, weak follow-up guidance, and outputs that are too vague to use.

What to check

The opening makes sense

The participant should understand why they are being asked to answer and what kind of response is useful.

The format matches the task

Voice should feel natural for longer qualitative answers. Text should feel appropriate for shorter written input.

Follow-ups add depth

Good follow-ups ask for reasons, examples, expectations, tradeoffs, or next steps.

The output will support a decision

After sessions complete, the response table, transcript, Doc, Slides, or Research Agent should make the answers easier to act on.

Fix common issues

If the conversation feels vague

Tighten the goal and add clearer follow-up targets.

If the participant may be confused

Rewrite the opening question in plain language.

If follow-ups feel too long

Lower the follow-up depth or narrow the study goal.

If the expected output feels generic

Add the decision the study should support and the evidence you need.

Current note

The read-only example study scanned during the docs audit had a View survey button, but the linked builder route returned a 404 in that session. Capture a working participant preview from a normal editable study before publishing participant-flow screenshots.
