QUALITATIVE RESEARCH

Research involving small groups or individual people, uncovering motivations, attitudes, and the language people use to talk about a product. Not intended for statistical generalizations.

Why it matters

Answers the question 'why' — what cannot be read from a table of percentages.

What's missing without it

Without them, you know the numbers, but don't understand what lies behind them, so you don't know what to change.

When it is used

At the beginning of a project: when forming hypotheses, testing concepts, identifying barriers.

How we use it

Four groups of eight people and ten in-depth interviews before conducting quantitative research.

Fun fact

Practical rule: qualitative research tells you what to ask; quantitative research tells you how many people think that way. Reversing the order is the most expensive way to ask the wrong questions of a thousand people.
