FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is contextual inquiry?
Contextual inquiry is a UX research method where researchers observe and interview users while they work, in their natural environment, to understand real behaviours and needs.
How many participants do you recruit?
Typically 5–8 participants per user segment is sufficient for qualitative research. We advise on sample size based on your research questions.
How long does a contextual study take?
A typical contextual study takes 3–6 weeks from planning to final report, depending on the number of participants and complexity.
Can you conduct remote contextual research?
Yes. We use screen sharing, video calls, and diary apps to conduct contextual research remotely when in-person observation isn't feasible.
