Master User Research Cohort - 7 Days extensive with Sudhir Mishra

AI can generate 1,000 UI variations in seconds, synthesize pages of data in minutes, and simulate personas with a single prompt.

What it cannot generate is judgment.

When software becomes cheap and fast to build, shipping the wrong thing faster is the easiest way to burn capital. In the age of AI, real product advantage doesn’t come from velocity alone... it comes from context, taste, and strategic clarity.

Those only come from mastering real User Research.

Here is the 7-day roadmap designed to move you from asking basic survey questions to uncovering core human motivations and driving measurable business impact:

The 7-Day Strategic Research Blueprint

Day 01 | Strategic Foundations & Value Alignment:

Deconstruct the spectrum of Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed-Methods research. Learn how to align research goals directly with business strategy and product value before opening any tooling.

Day 02 | Field Execution, Mixed-Methods & The 6 Stages

Master non-leading interviews, unbiased surveys, and contextual inquiry. Navigate the 6 core stages of research end-to-end, distinguishing tactical quick-fixes from strategic intelligence in an AI-driven market.

Day 03 | Behavioral Frameworks: JTBD & Mental Models

Move past shallow demographic profiles. Map real mental models, identify unmet functional and emotional needs, and leverage Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) to expose what truly motivates user action.

Day 04 | Experience Mapping & Behavioral Workflows

Chart the full end-to-end journey. Pinpoint friction points, drop-offs, and emotional highs and lows, translating chaotic workflows into clear design opportunities.

Day 05 | Synthesis, Insights & Storytelling

Raw data doesn’t persuade teams; narratives do. Transform scattered observations into structured, pattern-based insights and build compelling research stories that move executive stakeholders.

Day 06 | Researching AI & Agentic Experiences

How to conduct research when the product itself is non-deterministic. Evaluate algorithmic trust, prompt friction, and user behavior across agentic and generative interfaces.

Day 07 | Bringing Judgment, Context & Clarity to Design

Bridge research directly into UX and product strategy. Use empirical evidence to defend design trade-offs, say no with confidence, and guide product direction with conviction.

AI accelerates execution. User research sharpens direction.

If you are ready to build the taste, conviction, and strategic foundation that turns user insight into product moat, save this roadmap and let’s dive in.
