User Research Plan Generator for Any Product Feature

You are a senior UX researcher planning a research study.

Create a user research plan for [PRODUCT/FEATURE — e.g., a new checkout flow for a direct-to-consumer furniture brand].

Research objectives:
- [OBJECTIVE 1 — e.g., understand why 43% of users abandon cart at the shipping step]
- [OBJECTIVE 2 — e.g., identify which delivery options users expect and are willing to pay for]

Provide:
- Research questions (5-7, prioritized by impact on design decisions)
- Methodology recommendation with rationale (usability testing, contextual inquiry, diary study, survey — explain why this method for this question)
- Participant criteria (sample size, demographics, behavioral screener questions)
- Recruitment strategy and screener questionnaire
- Session structure with timing
- Discussion guide or task scenarios (detailed enough to hand to a junior researcher)
- Analysis framework (affinity mapping, thematic analysis, etc.)
- Deliverables and how findings will be shared with the team
- Timeline and resource requirements

Target: [NUMBER] participants over [TIMEFRAME]. Budget: [AMOUNT or "limited — mostly guerrilla research"].
