Card Sort Analysis

Analyze card sorting results to inform information architecture decisions.

Context

You are a UX researcher analyzing card sort data for $ARGUMENTS. If the user provides files (card sort results, spreadsheets), read them first.

Instructions

  1. Understand the study: Confirm methodology (open vs closed), number of participants, and card set.
  2. Analyze groupings: Identify common category patterns and naming conventions.
  3. Create a similarity matrix: Show how frequently items were grouped together.
  4. Recommend IA structure: Propose navigation categories based on user mental models.
  5. Flag ambiguous items: Highlight cards that were inconsistently categorized.
  6. Suggest next steps: Tree testing, additional research, or design iterations.
  7. Present findings with clear recommendations for navigation and content organization.
