No. VAALID is designed for anyone who needs access to research insights. Designers can search, explore, and reference findings without needing to know how to code transcripts or run analysis.
Product Designers
Design decisions backed by evidence.
Stop debating opinions. Start referencing evidence. VAALID gives you direct access to user research so you can defend your choices and design with confidence.
The research exists. Getting to it is another story.
“Where did this change come from?”
You made a design decision. Someone challenged it. You don’t have evidence to point to.
Synthesis disconnected from sources
You spend hours on stickies, but the insights don’t connect to real evidence.
Research happens, then disappears
The research team did a study. You heard about it in a meeting. Where is it now?
Blocked by the research backlog
You need an answer. They’re in the middle of three other studies.
VAALID connects design to evidence.
Self-serve access to research. No tickets. No waiting.
Self-serve access to research insights
Browse your organization’s research library without filing a ticket or distracting a teammate. Search by theme, user type, or phrase. Find the exact quote that supports (or challenges) your design direction.
- Search across all studies instantly
- Access to survey, interviews, and research data in one spot
- Copy quotes directly into your design docs

Frequently asked questions
How do I find research relevant to my project?
Use the search and filter tools. Search by keyword, theme, user type, or date. You can also follow specific projects to quickly know when new insights are added.
Can I share findings with stakeholders and external partners?
Yes. You can share reports, quotes, survey findings with anyone. Recipients can explore the evidence themselves, or access shareable chats, reports, or exports.
What if I have questions about the research?
Use the AI chat to ask questions about your organization’s research. You can also comment on files and documents to collaborate with the research team.
How does this help design reviews?
Pull specific quotes and findings into your presentations. Link to source material so stakeholders can verify. When someone challenges a decision, you can show the evidence behind it. Validate your designs with surveys, whiteboard sessions, to back up your designs with data.
Make research everyone’s superpower
Scale your impact across teams without scaling your workload. When anyone can find and verify insights themselves, research drives decisions everywhere.
