More control over Studies and initiative capacity

Build study audiences, choose a method, and opt into shared question flows. Initiative capacity now follows status, with add-ons available in the app.

What changed

  • Choose a study audience from idea contributors, a team panel, or a pasted list.
  • Start a study with one method chooser and opt into a shared, answer-aware question flow.
  • See initiative capacity by status, keep Scale limits during setup, and buy more capacity in app.
  • Move from a call's evidence to its ideas without losing the call context.

Choose who a study is for

Build an audience from people who asked for the idea, a team panel, or a pasted list. Zentrik does not send invitations; your team copies emails or downloads a CSV and invites people through its own channel. A recent answer counts as prior study input for 14 days. Validation studies hold back people who already gave input on their ideas.

Choose a method and shape the questions

One chooser offers self-guided, prototype, interview, and AI-guided methods. Optional shared flows carry short answers into surveys, AI interview instructions, and live guides. A short answer can turn “login flows” into “For login flows, what would help most?” Declined or long answers leave the next question plain. Participant surveys use Portal 1.33.0; the AI interview screen stays the same.

New study opens one method chooser. Synthetic workspace; no study is created.

Plan and expand initiative capacity

The initiative limit now counts work by status. Scale limits stay available during the setup window. Paid workspaces can buy initiative capacity in the app, and teams can archive initiatives to make room.

Follow customer evidence into ideas

When a call has qualifying ideas, its Ideas tab pairs each idea with the evidence excerpt from that call. Open the excerpt, Signal, or idea from the same view. Members with Discovery write access can rename Signals from the inspector or record page. Interview Signals open directly, with a status indicator while processing.

Select Ideas to see the call evidence beside each idea. Synthetic example.
