Purposedifferent | When teams derive needs only from assumptions and real motives are missing, user interviews give direct access to behavior and meaning.

It looks for patterns that lead to new product opportunities. | PESTLE Analysis makes political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental influences visible.
