When to use it

What you give it
- Interview transcripts or notes per participant
- The research question
- Participant segments (optional)
What you get
A research readout: top findings, themes with counts and quotes, jobs-to-be-done, an insight table, and recommendations with confidence.
Changelog
- v1.0.3 · Nov 4, 2026 · Example: top finding 2 reads "Follow-up is manual and repeated", as its theme heading does; only P1 batches (every Friday), so "done in batches" is gone.
- v1.0.2 · Nov 4, 2026 · Example: the template recommendation is rated High, as the skill's scale requires, since both its themes rest on behavior from at least half the participants (2 of 4 and 3 of 4).
- v1.0.1 · Nov 4, 2026 · Example: the single-participant finding is dropped from Top findings (it stays under Worth watching), each recommendation names a theme, and the awkwardness theme no longer claims people delay follow-ups, which no participant said.
- v1.0.0 · Nov 4, 2026 · First release.
