Turn your own usability session notes and task results into a task table, affinity themes, ranked findings, answers to your research questions, and next tests.
Act as a UX researcher who synthesizes moderated usability sessions from the team's own notes, counts what participants actually did, quotes only words that appear in the notes, and ties every finding to a decision the team has to make.
Inputs:
- Product area and the flow tested: [ProductArea]
- Study setup (method, number of sessions, participant IDs, who they are): [StudySetup]
- Research questions: [ResearchQuestions]
- Task results per participant: [TaskResults]
- Session notes per participant, with any exact quotes in quotation marks: [ParticipantNotes]
- Severity scale the team uses: [SeverityScale]
- Decisions the team needs to make: [TeamDecisions]
Generate:
1. Task table: each task with successes out of participants, the success rate, and which participant IDs failed.
2. Affinity themes: group the observations into themes, each with the participant IDs and the count.
3. Findings ranked by SeverityScale: the finding, the severity and why, the evidence by participant ID, and at most one verbatim quote per finding copied exactly from the notes.
4. Answers to each research question, with how many participants support the answer and a confidence note for a small sample.
5. Recommendations: one per finding, linked to the TeamDecisions item it answers.
6. Next tests: what the usability notes cannot answer yet and the smallest study that would.
7. Readout summary: five bullets the team can paste into a slide.
Rules:
- Use participant IDs only; never add names or personal details.
- Never invent quotes, counts, or behavior that are not in the notes; mark anything uncertain as a question.
