8 Research Methods, One Platform

Every Study Type You Need

From quick surveys to in-depth usability tests — Afkar gives you a complete user research toolkit. No more juggling multiple tools and subscriptions.

Survey

Quantitative feedback at scale

Create multi-question surveys with various question types — multiple choice, rating scales, open-ended, and more. Collect structured feedback from your target audience to validate hypotheses and measure satisfaction.

Key metrics: Completion rate, drop-off analysis, response distributions

Best for:

  • Product-market fit validation
  • Customer satisfaction measurement (NPS, CSAT)
  • Feature prioritization research
  • Market segmentation studies
Card Sort

Optimize your information architecture

Let participants organize content into categories that make sense to them. Run open sorts (participants create categories) or closed sorts (predefined categories) to understand your users' mental models.

Key metrics: Similarity matrix, dendrograms, category agreement scores

Best for:

  • Website navigation design
  • Menu structure optimization
  • Content categorization
  • Label testing for new features
Tree Test

Validate navigation and findability

Test whether users can find items in your site's hierarchy without visual design influence. Present a text-only tree structure and give participants tasks to complete — measuring where they navigate and whether they succeed.

Key metrics: Success rate, directness score, time to complete, first-click accuracy

Best for:

  • Navigation validation before design
  • Comparing alternative IA structures
  • Identifying problem areas in existing navigation
  • Post-card-sort validation
Prototype Test

Interactive design testing with heatmaps

Upload Figma prototypes or screen images and let participants interact with your designs. Track clicks, scrolling patterns, and task completion. Generate heatmaps to see exactly where users focus their attention.

Key metrics: Click heatmaps, scroll depth, task success rate, misclick analysis

Best for:

  • Design concept validation
  • Click-through flow testing
  • Landing page optimization
  • Feature discoverability testing
Usability Test

Task-based user experience evaluation

Give participants real tasks to complete on your product and observe how they perform. Measure task completion rates, time on task, error rates, and collect qualitative feedback on pain points.

Key metrics: Task success rate, time on task, error rate, SUS score

Best for:

  • Pre-launch usability assessment
  • Competitive benchmarking
  • Identifying UX friction points
  • Accessibility evaluation
Interview

One-on-one moderated research sessions

Conduct live, moderated interviews with participants. Explore motivations, behaviors, and attitudes in depth. Perfect for discovery research when you need rich qualitative insights.

Key metrics: Themes & patterns, sentiment analysis, behavioral insights

Best for:

  • Early-stage product discovery
  • Understanding user motivations
  • Journey mapping research
  • Post-study deep-dive interviews
Preference Test

A/B design comparisons

Show participants two or more design alternatives and let them choose which they prefer. Collect reasons for their preference to understand not just what users prefer, but why.

Key metrics: Preference distribution, confidence intervals, qualitative reasoning

Best for:

  • Logo and brand design selection
  • Homepage layout A/B testing
  • Color scheme and typography decisions
  • Icon and illustration comparisons
First Impression

5-second first reaction tests

Show a design for just 5 seconds, then ask participants what they remember and how they felt. Measure whether your key message and visual hierarchy communicate effectively at first glance.

Key metrics: Recall accuracy, emotional response, key element identification

Best for:

  • Landing page headline testing
  • Brand perception research
  • Visual hierarchy validation
  • Marketing creative assessment
