Using the card sorting analysis module, you quickly go from raw data to concrete insights to improve the user experience. You can also choose to export test metrics or responses to questionnaires.

By creating a private pool you make sure that the testers you invite will not be invited for any other projects via our platform. Invite or delete testers at any point in time and maintain full control over customer data.
