The 3 P's of Measuring UX
Dear Reader,
With every passing day, measuring the user experience is easier.
A slew of AI-assisted tools are emerging that allow you to dive deeper into the psyche of your users.
Before you jump on the latest tool, you might want to stop and figure out your measuring goal.
Here are some common questions:
- How do I measure how one design performs over another?
- How do I know if users prefer one design over another?
- How do I know if users perceive a design as trustworthy?
Behind these questions is a different measuring goal that requires different methodologies.
Knowing your goal will make choosing UX methods, metrics, and sample sizes much easier.
I just published a long-form guide to measuring the user experience that can break down this gargantuan task with a simple framework.
This framework is how I teach quantitative research and UX metrics to our product experiments students. It's an effective way to simplify the gargantuan task of measuring UX.
If you often wonder if you've chosen the right UX method for a project, this article is for you.

Many who got a demo say the experience is far better than they expected, especially the eye-tracking and clicking gestures. Is this thing a shining example of the future of UX or an isolating creepy toy for rich people?

Level-up your critiques in 3 questions By Hannah Baker Dear Reader, You know the critique that starts with “quick feedback” and ends 45 minutes later with five conflicting opinions and no next step? Or the one where a senior voice speaks first and the room quietly aligns, even when the data points elsewhere. Here’s a simple pattern, adapted from Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS), that pulls critiques out of taste debates and into clearer decisions. What VTS is (in 60 seconds) VTS is a...
