Checklist
Checklist for your first customer research study

An eight-item checklist for getting a first customer research study done: set a specific goal, pick who to talk to, write a short interview guide, book one interview, set up recording with permission, run it, debrief straight away and share what you learned. Use it to go from intention to a first conversation in a week. Koji can then run the same interview with many more customers.
