Why it is useful
A review goes better when you already know what is proven. The Dashboard shows which findings have not reached the design yet and which have no research behind them, so you can link the first and test the second.
The Dashboard follows your research into findings, and your findings into the pages and components they explain. Where the chain breaks is where the work is.
Step 1: Read the chain on the Dashboard
The three boxes at the top count your Research, your Findings and your Experience. Under Findings, to link counts the findings that are not on any part of the design yet.
Step 2: Open the findings nothing uses
Click to link. The Library opens on the findings that are Not linked yet.
Step 3: Link one to the part it explains
Open a finding and click Link to experience. Crux suggests the pages, components and personas it is most likely about. Tick the ones that fit and click Link.
Step 4: Spot the guesses
On the Dashboard, the bar beside each finding is the research behind it. A finding with no bar rests on nothing yet: test it before you build on it.
Tips
- A finding linked to a part of your prototype shows on that part for everyone who inspects it.
- An item marked Assumption has no research behind it. Being a guess is fine, as long as everyone can see that it is one.
