What is Empathy Map?
An empathy map builds shared team understanding of a user by capturing what they say, think, do, and feel — turning scattered research into one clear picture.
How to read your result
- Says: direct quotes you've heard from them.
- Thinks: beliefs and worries they may not voice.
- Does: observable actions and behaviours.
- Feels: emotions — pair with pains and gains for the full picture.
