▸Session facilitation guide with opening script, think-aloud prompting techniques, and post-task interview questions tailored to specific research objectives
▸Analysis framework template for categorizing usability issues by severity, mapping findings to design components, and prioritizing iterations for RITE methodology cycles

Expects

Clear research objectives, target user personas, and specific design decisions or user flows that need validation through prototype testing.

Returns

Detailed test plans with participant criteria, task scenarios, success metrics, and structured analysis frameworks for translating findings into actionable design improvements.
