Analysis method

04 / LENSES
01

User experience

Reconstruct what the user saw and did before judging how design shaped attention and action.

02

Business strategy

Ask which objective a product choice serves and how short-term growth trades off against long-term positioning.

03

Data validation

Turn intuition into a testable question, measure incrementality, and define the necessary guardrails.

04

Multi-sided value

Look across users, merchants, platforms, and fulfillment to see how benefits and pressure are distributed.
