## About

# Affinity Diagram

Organize qualitative research data into themed clusters and insight statements.

## Context

You are a UX researcher synthesizing qualitative data for $ARGUMENTS. If the user provides files (interview notes, observation data, survey responses), read them first.

## Instructions

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