Research case study 005 / 200
Competitive research that stops at appearance
Competitor reviews collect plenty of images but offer little judgment on functional layout or user experience.
Three-step solution method
- Break down competitors' operating steps, spatial layouts and service flows against the same tasks.
- Document the constraints behind differences to create an opportunity and constraint map.
- Select key opportunities to develop comparative schemes and conduct task-based analysis.
Key Deliverables
- Competitor task matrix
- Opportunity map
- Reference prototype
Verification Approach
Evaluate approach differences based on task duration, errors, and user feedback.
Translating research into products and services
Around this topic, we connect needs research, product form, visual identity, and user flows; organizing design decisions through prototypes and task evidence, then integrating with engineering, operations, and service teams for delivery.
