q1 · i? · design · r2

Authors' interpretation of case-study observations in Sec. 7.2, where some participants (P5-6, P8-10, P14) entered via visually engaging features and others (P2-3, P12) via mastery of analysis. This is an interpretive claim, not a tested result.

"the findings in Sec. 7.2 demonstrates that our system builds a successful reciprocal relationship between these two elements, where each one strengthens the other."
