User Research Questions for Founders
User Research questions for founders who need to understand customer motivation, product value, friction, buying decisions, and trust.
Good research questions help founders move beyond compliments and into useful evidence about behavior and decision-making.
Why this matters for growth
Founder decisions become clearer when UX findings reveal whether the issue is value, audience fit, messaging, usability, trust, or product direction.
Viviane's lens
Read this as a decision prompt, not a generic UX article.
The useful question is whether this pattern appears in your website, app, product, or customer journey, and what business decision would become easier if the friction were visible.

Practical review questions
What is the user trying to understand or accomplish at this moment?
Where does the experience ask for effort before creating enough confidence?
Which improvement would most directly support conversion, trust, retention, or product-market fit?
When to request expert feedback
If the team is debating opinions, seeing unexplained drop-off, preparing a launch, or trying to improve conversion and retention, an independent UX review can turn uncertainty into a practical improvement plan.
