Project name: Product research.

Category: Work. Made with the real Stashiro interface and fictional project data; it illustrates a workflow and is not a one-click template or a customer case study.

## Why this board works

Research loses value when a conclusion is separated from the observation behind it. Arrange the evidence beside the questions and decisions, making it easier to distinguish what you observed from what you still need to test.

## The research question

Start with a product decision that the board should inform. Keep that question visible beside the source material and observations. The illustrated board demonstrates a synthesis layout, not a completed study or verified interview evidence.

## Criteria for evidence

A source belongs when it helps answer the question and its origin can be checked. Keep URLs, observation dates and anonymized interview context. Label an interpretation as an interpretation; repeated notes are not independent confirmation.

## What a review should produce

Connect a proposed change to the observations supporting it and keep counterexamples nearby. End with a decision to test, the evidence it depends on and open questions. If an AI assistant drafts a synthesis, verify it against those sources before saving it as a conclusion.

## Build it yourself

1. **Keep the question visible:** Start with the decision the research should inform. Collect source links and observation notes, using anonymized material when discussing people.
2. **Group evidence without erasing it:** Arrange related observations and add synthesis notes nearby. Connect a conclusion to the supporting cards instead of replacing them with a summary.
3. **Record uncertainty:** Keep open questions beside proposed changes. Share the board for review and use comments to challenge interpretations before they become product decisions.
