What analytical frameworks structure synthesis beyond thematic analysis?

Tests whether you treat synthesis as strategic modeling rather than simple coding. A strong answer pairs bottom-up mental model diagrams to map the user goal landscape and expose gaps in current support, then applies JTBD to prioritize unmet needs by importance versus satisfaction. Selection logic: use mental models when the space is ambiguous and you need stakeholder empathy, use JTBD when you must connect insights to product priorities. Red flag: listing frameworks without explaining how they reshape synthesis and guide product decisions.
