User Research in Perth
Finding out how Perth organisations' customers actually behave, which is reliably different from what they say. People describe their intentions accurately and their habits poorly, so research that asks what someone would do produces confident answers with little predictive value.
Why this comes up
The problem
Product decisions rest on assumptions about users that nobody has checked, and the loudest internal opinion tends to win.
What you get
What we deliver
- Research questions defined, since studies without one produce interesting nothing
- Observation of real tasks rather than opinions about hypothetical ones
- Questions worded so they do not lead, which is harder than it appears
- Participants who resemble your users, not colleagues and their friends
- Findings separated from interpretation, so others can judge the reasoning
- Recordings and consent handled properly, as sessions capture personal data

Working in Perth
Scotland
Perth has a long-established insurance and energy corporate presence that sits oddly alongside a small agricultural hinterland, giving it two client types with very different procurement expectations.

User Research in Perth — common questions
- How many people do we need?
- For usability testing, around five per group finds most serious problems, and more adds little. For questions about how common something is, you need survey scale. Confusing the two — generalising from five interviews — is the most frequent misuse of qualitative research.
- Why not just ask what they want?
- Because people answer helpfully rather than accurately. Asked whether they would use a feature, most say yes; asked to complete a task, they reveal what actually gets in the way. Watching behaviour predicts far better than collecting stated preferences.
- What makes a question leading?
- Anything implying an expected answer — asking how helpful something was rather than what happened when they used it. Neutral wording feels stilted to write and produces answers you can rely on, which is the entire point of doing the research.
- Is there a data protection angle?
- Yes. Recordings of sessions are personal data, participants must understand what is being recorded and why, and incentives do not remove the need for proper consent. Retention and who can access recordings should be decided before the first session rather than afterwards.
- Do you work with businesses across Perth and Kinross?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Perth and the surrounding Perth and Kinross area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Perth businesses do you usually work with?
- Corporate systems with formal procurement on one side, and straightforward agricultural and retail tooling on the other. Beyond that we work across Insurance & Financial Services, Agriculture, Tourism, Energy and Retail.
- Do you cover the areas around Perth?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Dundee, Stirling, Dunfermline. Perth is an urban area of roughly 50,000+, and we take on work across the wider Perth and Kinross region rather than the city boundary alone.
