HOW THE HEALTH CHECK WORKS1. Deconstruct the service (list and chunk)2. Choose benchmarks (your competitors)3. Establish scoring criteria (the scale)UX RESEARCH & WEB ANALYTICS @ SXSW INTERACTIVE, 2011 • AUSTIN GOVELLA, UX RONIN • AUSTIN@GRAFOFINI.COM • WWW.GRAFOFINI.COM

DECONSTRUCT THE SERVICEBreak down the parts of the product or service to a level they can be looked at in isolation and still be comparable to examples elsewhere.1. By product/services in a(n eco)system2. By user mental model3. By generic/universal mental models (consumption and service cycles)UX RESEARCH & WEB ANALYTICS @ SXSW INTERACTIVE, 2011 • AUSTIN GOVELLA, UX RONIN • AUSTIN@GRAFOFINI.COM • WWW.GRAFOFINI.COM
