Tips & Tools for Continuous Research
What can you count on in life? Death, taxes, and…customer side-eye when your product runs afoul of its promises? Whether you formally test your products or not, they’re going to be tested and assessed by customers. It’s inescapable. If you’re spending tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars, even more, on a product and not testing the experience, you are exposing your product to risk.
