Test Card
Purposedifferent
When a lot is assumed about a target group but little is seen jointly, empathy mapping makes knowledge and gaps directly comparable. The picture also shows which assumptions hold up and where evidence is missing.The Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success.
