|
|
|
## STEEP + Timeline Framework
|
|
|
|
For analyzing trends and industry changes:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
S - Social: User behavior changes, demographics
|
|
T - Technological: New tools, platforms, capabilities
|
|
E - Economic: Market conditions, pricing trends
|
|
E - Environmental: Sustainability, resource factors
|
|
P - Political/Legal: Regulations, compliance
|
|
|
|
Timeline:
|
|
- Past (2-3 years): What changed?
|
|
- Present: Current state of play
|
|
- Future (1-2 years): Projections
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Problem Tree Framework
|
|
|
|
For diagnostic and solution-oriented research:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ROOT PROBLEM
|
|
├── Cause 1
|
|
│ ├── Sub-cause 1.1
|
|
│ └── Sub-cause 1.2
|
|
├── Cause 2
|
|
│ └── Sub-cause 2.1
|
|
└── Cause 3
|
|
|
|
SOLUTIONS
|
|
├── Solution A → addresses Cause 1
|
|
├── Solution B → addresses Cause 2
|
|
└── Solution C → addresses Cause 3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Feature Matrix Framework
|
|
|
|
For comparisons and evaluations:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
| Criteria | Option A | Option B | Option C | Weight |
|
|
|----------|----------|----------|----------|--------|
|
|
| Feature 1 | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ | High |
|
|
| Feature 2 | ⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐ | Medium |
|
|
| Feature 3 | ⭐ | ⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ | Low |
|
|
| Price | $$$ | $$ | $ | High |
|
|
|
|
Weighted Score: Calculate based on importance
|
|
Recommendation: Based on user's priority
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Layered Deep-Dive Framework
|
|
