Overall the response to the prototype in the first round of research was positive.
This is very different to DTTP! It’s more friendly, a lot bigger and brighter. It’s a lot clearer.
I think if this could be rolled out across everything [all routes], then it would make my job a lot easier.
Users intuitively knew how to navigate the prototype and they understood what data we were requesting from them.
