RESEARCH & TESTING

Assumption Matrix

Use this simple framework below to keep tabs on your assumptions during research or testing sessions. This allows teams to incrementally move assumptions based on immediate findings or evidence.


How to use:


  1. Write your assumptions on sticky notes - 1 per sticky note

  2. Place the sticky notes on the line — this represents no evidence

  3. Move your assumptions in either direction as you're gathering evidence to validate or invalidate each assumption.

  4. Use the competency scale to indicate the "notion" of evidence.
