Path mapping

A drawn account of how people moved screen to screen inside sampled sessions, with branches that actually occurred — not a hoped-for happy path.

Handwritten lists and a planner spread on a desk

Illustrated map plus notes · About two weeks after the sample is locked · George Town, files reviewed in studio · Quoted per screen set

Path mapping is for teams who already know which stretch of the app matters and want to see the routes people took, including the ugly ones.

We draw only branches that appear in the sample. A screen that nobody reached is left blank, with a note that the sample never arrived there. Loops — address, keyboard, address again — are drawn as loops, not flattened into a single arrow.

You receive a large printed sheet (and a PDF) plus a short legend. This study does not include a findings memo of the length used in a full session study; if you need both, say so at intake so we price the pair rather than bolt them together later.
