Instructions

Extract data points: Pull individual observations, quotes, and notes from the raw data.

Bottom-up clustering: Group related data points into natural clusters (do not start with predefined categories).
1. Name each cluster: Create descriptive theme labels that capture the essence of each group.
2. 1. Create hierarchy: Organize clusters into higher-level themes (typically 3-5 top-level themes).
  2. 1. Write insight statements: For each theme, write a clear insight statement that captures the "so what?"
    2. 1. Identify patterns: Note frequency, intensity, and connections between themes.
      2. Prioritize: Rank insights by impact on design decisions.
        
        Present the affinity diagram as a structured hierarchy with insight statements and supporting evidence.
