Write a UX Research Plan

Create a UX research plan for the following design challenge:

Product / feature: [describe what you're designing or improving]
Research goal: [what question are you trying to answer?]
Stage of design: [discovery / concept validation / usability testing / post-launch]
Users to research: [describe the user segment]
Time available: [e.g. 1 week / 2 weeks / 1 month]
Budget: [none / small / moderate]

Research plan covering:
1. Research questions: 3–5 specific questions (not "is the design good?" — be precise)
2. Methods: which methods to use and why (e.g. interviews / surveys / usability tests / card sorting / diary study)
3. Recruitment criteria: who to recruit and how many participants per method
4. Discussion guide (for interviews): 8–12 questions that avoid leading the participant
5. Usability test script (if applicable): tasks to give, what to observe
6. Analysis approach: how to synthesise findings
7. Deliverables: what you'll produce at the end (report / insight cards / journey map)
8. Timeline: week-by-week plan

Include: how to avoid confirmation bias in your research.
