Tips
1. Include raw quotes — Direct participant quotes make insights credible and memorable.
2. Separate observations from interpretations — "5 of 8 users clicked the wrong button" is an observation. "The button placement is confusing" is an interpretation.
3. Quantify where possible — "Most users" is vague. "7 of 10 users" is specific.
