01 / CONTEXT
The challenge
Small teams collected interviews in several tools. When a decision resurfaced weeks later, the original evidence was hard to find and the reasoning was often lost.
The same insight can lose its source when notes and decisions live in separate tools.
02 / PROCESS
The approach
I prototyped a workspace organized around evidence and themes. Every insight linked back to a source, and a lightweight decision log captured what changed, who owned it, and what the team still needed to learn.
A theme connects interview evidence to the insight and the decision it informed.
03 / IMPACT
The results
The design turned synthesis into a shared activity. In the illustrative test, teams organized evidence faster and could find the source behind a decision with fewer steps.
