The Pietree

The task“Find the lowest cost home broadband solution.”

What is it?Tree testing allows you to isolate and evaluate an information architecture, revealing the findability of topics, where users are getting lost and why. With Treejack you can test multiple IAs at once, at any stage of development. It’s the most comprehensive way to test and prove an IA before starting visual design.

So, what’s new?We’ve developed the Pietree, a visualisation of the hard data. The Pietree provides an overview of Treejack results and lets you see, at a glance, where an IA works and where it doesn’t.
