Proforto: understanding the why behind the data

Proforto already knew where users dropped off. What the team needed was the behavioral explanation behind the numbers so changes could be prioritized faster.

"We see what users are doing, but we don't understand why they're struggling."

The challenge

Hotjar and analytics exposed what was happening, but not why. That left the team making assumptions about where the real friction lived in navigation and category discovery.

What changed

Userfeel gave Proforto clear explanations for user confusion, helping the team discover blind spots they were too familiar with to see on their own.

Key takeaway

Qualitative testing turned vague analytics signals into explainable, actionable UX priorities that the wider team could align around quickly.
