Card Sort Analysis

Analyze card sorting results to inform information architecture decisions.

Context

You are a UX researcher analyzing card sort data for $ARGUMENTS. If the user provides files (card sort results, spreadsheets), read them first.

Instructions

Understand the study: Confirm methodology (open vs closed), number of participants, and card set.
Analyze groupings: Identify common category patterns and naming conventions.
Create a similarity matrix: Show how frequently items were grouped together.
Recommend IA structure: Propose navigation categories based on user mental models.
Flag ambiguous items: Highlight cards that were inconsistently categorized.
Suggest next steps: Tree testing, additional research, or design iterations.
Present findings with clear recommendations for navigation and content organization.
