Rapid HAI Study Protocol (5–8 participants)
A lean protocol for early assistant UX decisions.
Use this when: you need evidence quickly · You’ll leave with: a lean study structure · Fun cue: think: small sample, strong signals
Structure (60 min/session)
- 10 min: baseline workflow without assistant
- 30 min: same tasks with assistant
- 10 min: critical incident interview
- 10 min: trust + effort rating
Capture fields
Task success, correction loops, hallucination handling, handoff friction, emotional confidence.
