Areas of Inquiry
DISCOVERY JOURNEY MAP : Step wise enquiry and Hypothesis
HYPO - Users feel Meesho is an avenue for low priced mediocre quality products Probe - General awareness about different programs on Meesho for low intent / home page traffic Enquire - What kind of offerings does Meesho provide post checking the app? General perception of platform? Just low priced unbranded goods? or other things HYPO - Users are unaware of the different programs due to current clutter or several constructs Enquire - What programs are users aware of? Of the aware ones, comprehension? Enquire - Do they relate with one program more than the other? If yes, reason? Probe - How and why did they understand the first program? Why not the others? Enquire - Do they relate with no program? Do we sense cognitive overload as the primary reason? Probe - Check if the reason for not seeing differentiated discovery of PLP / PDP is due to too many things Enquire - Expectation of how a good quality / premium offering should be placed HYPO - Users focus, consume and understand the key strategic constructs available on home page Probe - Users pay attention towards overall offerings on home page pre starting exploration (Cat bar / Bottom nav etc) Probe - Comprehension of Malls on bottom nav Probe - Users spend time analysing UI across widgets available on home page Probe - Users read and distinguish the differentiated UI / coach-mark and educational nudges on widget screens Probe - Attention towards Gold pill / suggestive badges and updated colour scheme Enquire - Co-relation with anything premium Probe - Attention towards Mall pill / suggestive badges and updated colour scheme Enquire - Co-relation with anything branded / superior quality Enquire - From a widget standpoint, check if more attention or focus goes to BAU constructs (Daily deals etc) or strategic initiatives (LC / Mall / Gold) Enquire - Users are able to comprehend value proposition of the program HYPO - Users pay attention to and are able to consume differentiated trust markers available on PLP across constructs Probe - Users pay focus on differentiated markers of different programs when the listing surfaces on PLP Enquire - Attention indexed on pill highlight / UI colour / both Enquire - Users are able to comprehend the correct value proposition of program from markers in PLP Enquire - Users are able to understand and recall the value offering across multiple programs visible across feeds / Noticeability of UI across various programs Probe - The differentiated trust markers assist in intent formation / curiosity leading to PDP click Probe - Association of the trust markers with anything premium / true value prop HYPO - Users pay attention to differentiated PDP UI for different programs Probe - How much does Gold / Mall UI assist here? General scanning of this section Probe - Attention towards differentiated Gold pill / suggestive badges and updated colour in place of ratings pill Enquire - Co-relation of the distinctive UI with anything premium HYPO - Users purchase decision also bakes in value proposition stated out in PDPs Probe - How do they make the decision to buy?
