Atomic UX Research

How to use Atomic UX Research for building a research repository in consider.ly

What is Atomic UX Research?

Atomic UX Research is a framework to structure and retrieve qualitative research data. The term was framed by Tomer Sharon working on the Polaris framework at WeWork.

Atoms are the smallest units of research – observations such as tagged user quotes or
video snippets – that you can combine to support your hypotheses, present, and share.

How Atomic UX Research can benefit your research

Atomic UX Research helps you to consistently document your findings and trace conclusions back to the raw facts.

Instead of creating lengthy PDF reports, you build a searchable body of granular research insights, that will compound over time and that you can utilize to answer new research questions like “What do we know about …?”.
