Design a follow-up experiment to resolve conflicting qualitative and quantitative data
This tests mixed-methods integration. Strong answers sequence experiments: observe users in the low-engagement flow for friction, then run a higher-fidelity quantitative test with behavioral metrics tied to stated intent.
This tests intentional mixed-methods integration and your ability to isolate the say-do gap, prototype fidelity, or audience mismatches. A strong answer sequences experiments: first, a qualitative usability study where participants think aloud while interacting with the exact A/B prototype to surface friction; second, a higher-fidelity quantitative test measuring behavioral proxies for intent, such as return rate, with a predefined statistical threshold; third, a decision gate weighting both streams.
