Product adoption

Propel recruits relevant people, organises real product tasks and supports them through the work. Run a test cycle to find where users struggle, or a practitioner programme to help an audience use your product successfully.

Two paths

Product testing or practitioner adoption.

Testing is usually a bounded research purchase. Adoption can support a recurring engagement.

Product testing

Buyer’s question
Where do users struggle?
Programme
Recruit users, organise tasks, collect findings.
Evidence
Completed tests, usable findings, product decisions.
Existing proof
Fertitude and Big Cabal Media.

Practitioner adoption

Buyer’s question
How do we help this audience use the product successfully?
Programme
Recruit practitioners, support a useful workflow, run follow-up clinics.
Evidence
Completed workflows, demonstrated capability, repeat use where measurable.
Existing proof
Relevant delivery experience. Adoption outcomes are established through pilots.

Product testing

Watch how people approach the workflows that matter. We recruit against your user profile, set clear tasks and collect feedback you can use to improve the product.

The work can cover onboarding, usability, feature clarity, documentation and the practical experience of using your product in different contexts.

Practitioner adoption

For adoption programmes, we define the action that represents value: completing a workflow, building with an API or using a feature for a real task. The programme then supports that action through clear onboarding, relevant challenges and follow-up.

Typically: recruit practitioners, support a useful workflow, then run follow-up clinics. If repeat use is part of the goal, we agree how it will be measured. A registration and an active user are different outcomes.

What your team gets

  • Participants matched to the audience brief.
  • An organised testing or activation plan.
  • Structured feedback and agreed activity records.
  • A report that connects findings to product and programme decisions.
  • An optional follow-on cycle to test improvements or support continued use.
