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.
Participants log moments via app: photos, videos, and voice notes captured in context.
Track behavior over 1-4 weeks. See patterns, habits, and pain points that interviews miss.
Every entry tagged with time, location, and mood. Understand the 'when' and 'where' of behavior.
Our researchers prompt participants in real-time to dig deeper on interesting moments.
Define the behaviors and moments you want to capture. Set study duration (typically 1-2 weeks).
Participants briefed and app configured. Pilot phase ensures data quality before full launch.
Daily prompts and self-initiated entries. Our team monitors participation and probes for depth.
Rich contextual themes delivered with video snippets and journey maps.

Real feedback from teams we've worked with
Busch Labs/RUF have been an amazing partner for my team and THQ Nordic when it comes to qualitative studies for our video game projects. We were struggling to find partners that were able to adapt to our rapidly changing requirements and short timelines, but Busch Labs continuously went above and beyond our expectations. This is true for recruiting, play sessions, as well as reporting. On top of that, they also helped us strengthen our own internal knowledge and processes when it comes to UX. Marc and his team are very unique, and I strongly recommend them to anybody who has UX-related needs.

Working with Busch Labs on usability research for our mobile inspection solution was extremely valuable. The user testing helped us identify key improvements and simplify the guidance, making the overall experience much more intuitive. We also saw a clear improvement in performance, as users now better understand how to use the solution as intended. Marc was great to work with! Very responsive, flexible to our needs, and able to recruit the right users for our specific use case.

Working with Marc & his team is amazing — he is very client- & human-centric, and makes the impossible happen when it comes to deadlines, finding a panel, supporting the research design, etc. He immersed himself in the topic, and supported our project with outstanding engagement, delivering results on time, with deep, actionable insights.
