Getting started

What SortedResearch does

SortedResearch runs card sorting studies: you give participants a set of cards (items, features, topics), they sort them into groups that make sense to them, and the platform turns the results into clear analysis and a Graham-written insight report (Graham is the platform's AI assistant). It's used to design information architecture, navigation, taxonomies, and content groupings.

The dashboard

After signing in you land on your dashboard, which lists your studies. Each study shows its status (draft / live / paused / closed) and a quick summary: sort type, how many participants started and completed, and how many were screened out.

Create a study with the New study button (top right).
Open any study to edit it, share it, or view results.

Folders (organizing studies)

Group studies into folders, handy for separating clients or projects.

Set a study's folder in the Client / folder field when you create it, or later in the study's settings. Type a new name to create a folder, or an existing one to file it there. Folder names are case-insensitive.
Each folder gets a color. Click the colored square next to a folder name on the dashboard to change it (10 colors available).
Leave the field blank to keep a study Unfiled.
Folders are purely for your organization. Participants never see them.

Account settings

Your account page shows your signed-in email and lets you change your password. There's also a link to your error log for troubleshooting.
