A researcher synthesizing dozens of interview notes into a handful of themes the team can prioritize.
What is in this drawing
Read the decisions behind it.
01
Top-level branches are the themes; leaves are individual observations.
02
Emotions are split into frustration and delight so both signal types survive synthesis.
03
Feature gaps are kept separate from usability so they map cleanly to backlog items.
Use whenever you need to cluster many small inputs into themes — research synthesis, retro notes, support tickets.
