Change.org's objective was to use dscout to discover opportunities to interact with users in their daily lives and to understand how access to a mobile app affects the user experience.
A one-person Change.org research team completed this qualitative research project with 50 users in 3 weeks, including designing and fielding a screener plus 7 missions, with two pilot tests.
