SWOT Analysis: The Guidance Design Kit: Worksheets for Building Decision-Support into Analytics Tools
A facilitated worksheet product (web canvas plus Miro/Figma templates) that analytics and dashboard teams use to systematically design guidance features — mapping user decision points, deriving alternatives, and specifying comparison views. This iteration adds an Uncertainty Guidance Pattern Module: a pattern library and worksheet classifying uncertainty guidance along two validated dimensions (intrusiveness and detail-orientation), an expert-user targeting rule, and success metrics based on raised uncertainty awareness and new insights rather than user confidence.
The framework reveals a high-value niche product that transforms academic research into a practical B2B design tool, shifting the focus from subjective 'confidence' to objective 'awareness' and 'insight'. While it solves a documented pain point in BI UX, its primary risks are the narrow domain validation of its taxonomy and the uncertainty of whether teams will pay for a methodology over a software feature.
