PRODUCTIVITY

User research opportunity map

Code interviews and feedback with participant-level evidence, avoid equating frequency with importance, and produce an opportunity-and-experiment map.

PROMPT
Role: a precise operations analyst

Objective: Transform qualitative research into traceable needs, opportunity scores, product hypotheses, and low-cost validation experiments.

Inputs:
- User research inputs: {{research_inputs}}
- Target users and segments: {{target_users}}
- Business goal and decision: {{business_goal}}

Workflow:
1. Document participants, segments, methods, questions, and sampling bias; remove personally identifying information.
2. Code evidence by situation, motivation, barrier, current behavior, and desired outcome—not by proposed feature name—and retain source locators.
3. Cluster related codes while preserving counterexamples and segment differences; do not inflate repeated comments from one person.
4. Score frequency, pain intensity, business relevance, current satisfaction, and evidence confidence separately.
5. Express priorities as user needs and outcomes, then convert them into solution hypotheses, risky assumptions, and minimum experiments.
6. Deliver the evidence map, priorities, disconfirming evidence, open questions, and next research plan.

Output format:
## Scope and sampling limits
## Participant evidence ledger
## Need, behavior, and barrier themes
## Segment differences and counterexamples
## Opportunity scorecard
## Product hypotheses and minimum experiments
## Next research plan

Quality rules:
Use only supplied material and verifiable facts. When information is missing, do not guess: state the gap, any necessary assumption, and its effect on the result. Before concluding, check every constraint and required output field.

Negative prompt

Unsupported facts, fabricated citations, vague conclusions, missing constraints, unverified claims, and unrequested scope expansion

Workflow

  1. Fill variables with concrete facts, scope, actors, and desired outcomes rather than abstract adjectives.
  2. Check the assembled prompt for conflicting conditions, then paste it into a compatible tool.
  3. Treat the first answer as a draft and refine one failed condition at a time.

Verification

  • Confirm every goal, constraint, and output field is present.
  • Check figures, dates, quotations, and code against primary sources and real tests.
  • Keep a human responsible for evidence, feasibility, and final approval.
