The Research Workflow
Four phases. One platform. Zero tab-switching.
Most teams piece together research from 3-5 separate tools. ValidateThat gives you the complete workflow in a single project workspace.
Plan
Set a research brief with objectives and questions. Track competitors with AI-assisted SWOT analysis. Understand the landscape before running your first study.
Discover
Log user interviews with sentiment tracking. Let AI surface recurring themes across your participant pool. Tag insights as pain points, opportunities, or risks.
Validate
Run card sorts, tree tests, and surveys with real users via built-in recruitment or your own audience. Results update live with automatic pattern detection.
Report
Synthesize findings by theme. Pin insights, pain points, and opportunities across every phase. Publish a shareable stakeholder report with one click.
Built-in Methods
Every research method. One login.
Maze charges $99/month for card sorts alone. ValidateThat gives you every method — plus the workflow to connect them — starting free.
Competitive Analysis
Track competitors with AI-generated SWOT observations. Identify market gaps before running your first study.
User Interviews
Log interviews, track sentiment, and surface recurring themes with AI. Tag insights by type for easy synthesis.
Card Sorting
Open and closed card sorts to discover how users organize your content. Dendrograms, similarity matrices, and cluster analysis.
Tree Testing
Validate your information architecture. See where users get lost with task success rates, directness scores, and time metrics.
Surveys
Five question types for qualitative follow-up. Rating scales, multiple choice, checkboxes, and open-ended text.
Findings & Themes
Pin insights, pain points, opportunities, and risks across every phase. Group by theme, filter by type, synthesize across methods.
The Problem
Your research tools don't talk to each other
You run card sorts in Maze. Log interviews in Notion. Track competitors in a spreadsheet. Synthesize findings in Dovetail. Build reports in Google Slides. Each tool has its own login, its own data model, and its own monthly bill. Insights get lost in the gaps.
ValidateThat eliminates the gaps. Every method, every finding, every insight lives in one project workspace — connected by theme, not by tool.
