Ways to run a redesign before-and-after study

Compares a survey tool with SUS, an unmoderated test platform, moderated sessions and Koji for a redesign before-and-after study, on seven things the study needs: score and reasons together, follow-ups, matched participants, sample size, consistent questions, analysis effort and task testing. For UX researchers choosing a method. Koji pairs each score with its reason in an AI-moderated interview but does not test tasks in the live product.
