Substantiated findings

LLM’s are great at organizing narratives and findings. It's helpful to see the sources that support these conclusions, making it easier to understand the analysis and where it comes from.

The image displays a grid layout with six cards, each containing an interview excerpt under the theme "Accessing music offline is difficult." Each card highlights a user's experience with offline music access issues: Interview with Emily: Emily finds it annoying when she can't access downloaded music due to a lack of signal or Wi-Fi. Interview with Rob: Rob is frustrated by being repeatedly asked to log in to access offline playlists during flights. Interview with Megan: Megan struggles to access offline content without an internet connection, defeating the purpose of offline mode. Interview with Bec: Bec relies on offline mode for commuting, but often finds songs not downloading properly or disappearing from her library. Interview with Thomas: Thomas appreciates offline mode but wishes for a feature to queue up songs in advance to avoid manual downloads in low connectivity areas. Interview with James: James often faces issues with the app not recognizing downloaded songs, leaving him without music in areas with spotty internet.
Human needs

When reviewing findings, I want to see the supporting sources, so I can understand and trust the conclusions more easily, and see how ideas are substantiated.

Considerations
  • Comparing Similarity in Source Materials: Seeing a collection of similar information helps you compare similarity between the source materials.
  • Building Trust through Access to Original Sources: Access to original sources builds trust in the findings, as users can review and understand the basis of the conclusions.
