| Criterion |  UX Research Surveys |  Operations Failure Mode and Effects Analysis |  Product Discovery Test Card |
|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When a topic needs to be validated broadly and many people can answer the same question, surveys gather structured feedback in a scalable form. Answers become comparable and segmentable instead of remaining merely anecdotal. | For a process, product, or service with noticeable failure risks, the method assesses possible failure modes in advance. It directs attention to combinations of occurrence, effect, and detectability. | The Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success. |
