Research

Generative research

Since we've started, we've undertaken a few generative research sprints to understand how the FEC's users might be interacting with the site and set direction for big pieces of site functionality. Organized by user type:

• Initial research
• Preliminary filer research
• Legal resources user
• Novice/casual user
