Capture Behavior Over Time

Diary studies that reveal habits and context.

The Problem

You need to understand behavior that unfolds over days or weeks. Habits, routines, context changes. Things that do not show up in a one-hour session.

Lab sessions show what people do in 60 minutes, not what they do in real life. Memory is unreliable. You need to capture behavior as it happens. Lab studies are snapshots. Users behave differently in artificial settings. You miss the messy reality of how your product fits into daily life.

The Solution

We run diary studies where participants log their experiences over time. Mobile capture, prompted entries, and follow-up interviews to understand the full context.

A realistic view of how users interact with your product over time. Patterns and pain points you would never see in a lab.

What You'll Achieve

  • Deep understanding of user needs and motivations
  • Transcripts and highlight clips for stakeholder sharing
  • Synthesized themes and patterns
  • Actionable insights, not just raw data
