UX Research Services
ClickMasters conducts user research for B2B software companies across the USA, Europe, Canada, and Australia. Moderated interviews with your target users not internal opinions dressed as user insight. Usability testing on prototypes before engineering begins. Journey mapping that reveals the gap between the experience your product delivers and the experience your users need. Research that earns a seat at the product roadmap table.

UX Research Methods
- Moderated User Interviews: Early discovery goals, mental models, current workarounds, emotional responses, unmet needs that users cannot articulate without a skilled interviewer
- Contextual Inquiry: When in-lab behaviour differs from real behaviour reveals workarounds, interruptions, collaboration patterns that self-reported behaviour misses
- Usability Testing (Prototype): After wireframes, before high-fidelity where users get stuck, what they misunderstand, which labels confuse identify problems while changes are cheap
- Usability Testing (Live Product): Post-launch, before redesign real usability issues in production: which features are hard to find, which workflows cause errors, which tasks users abandon
- Heuristic Evaluation: Fast expert review assessment against Jakob Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics identifies likely problems without recruiting users, faster and cheaper
- Competitive UX Analysis: Strategic planning, redesign projects where competitors succeed and fail in UX, design patterns users are already trained on, gaps your product can exploit
- Card Sorting: Information architecture design how users mentally categorise features and content informs navigation design and labels that match user mental models
- Survey Design: Quantitative validation of qualitative hypotheses confirms whether insights from 5-8 interviews generalise to the full user population
How Many Users Do You Need for Usability Testing?
Five participants is the answer most rigorously supported by UX research literature. Nielsen Norman Group's research demonstrates that 5 participants reveal approximately 85% of a product's usability issues the 6th, 7th, and 8th participant mostly surface the same issues already discovered. This makes 5-participant usability testing an excellent investment: the cost of recruiting and testing 5 users (2-3 weeks, $6,000-12,000) is significantly lower than the cost of one sprint of engineering fixing problems that could have been identified with 5 testers. The exception: when you have clearly distinct user segments (enterprise administrators vs. end users, for example), 5 participants per segment is recommended.
UX Research Services We Deliver
ClickMasters operates as a full-stack ux research partner. Our team handles every layer of the software delivery lifecycle — product strategy, UI/UX design, backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, QA, and ongoing support.
User Interview Programme
Moderated user interviews: participant screening, discussion guide design, moderated sessions (60-minute video call), verbatim transcription, affinity mapping, and insight synthesis (jobs-to-be-done, design implications). 5-8 participants recommended per segment.
Usability Testing
Task-based usability testing on prototypes or live products: task scenario design, think-aloud protocol, quantitative metrics (completion rate, time-on-task, error rate), qualitative observations, severity-ranked findings, and design recommendations.
User Journey Mapping
Current-state journey map for the most important user workflow: stages, actions, thoughts, emotions, pain points, and opportunities. Produced collaboratively with the product team in a 3-hour workshop.
Heuristic Evaluation
Expert UX audit against Jakob Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics. Each finding severity-rated (0-4 Nielsen scale), illustrated with screenshots, and paired with a specific design recommendation. 20-40 findings for a complex B2B application.
