I created my QXscore. What now?
Share your results with stakeholders!
- Start by looking at the QXscore to help better understand the overall performance of your product and identify the strengths and weaknesses:
- Is your QXscore at the level you expect or is it an area of concern? If you've been tracking the score over time, check if it improved or worsened.
- Can users complete all tasks successfully or are some more difficult and have lower success rates than expected? Drill into the behavioral data to find the friction points.
- Where are the gaps in the attitudinal data, and are there areas for improvement in any of the areas?
- After evaluating your data and identifying the key outcomes, start planning your communication to stakeholders and discussions on how the data can inform business decisions.
What should I do next?
- Integrate the QXscore as a standard metric alongside core KPI metrics to help the business focus on tracking user experience.
- Talk about, publish, and reference the score in meetings and communications to reinforce the importance for the team. This helps the score become part of everyday business language.
- Plan to repeat this study over time for different product areas or against competitors to:
- Track progress against the changes you have implemented
- Share updates with stakeholders.
- Continue to highlight areas of opportunity to win with users.
QXscore FAQs
What does the Top-2 box refer to?
- The top-2 box refers to the percentage of participants who answered 4 or 5 (9 or 10 for NPS®), agree or strongly agree, to the set of attitudinal questions.
- These percentages are used to calculate the overall attitudinal score of the QXscore.
How do I explain how the QXscore is calculated to stakeholders?
Attitudinal scores explained
- The Attitudinal score explains what participants feel and say regarding:
- Usability (Ease of use)
- Trust
- Appearance
- Loyalty
- A percentage of participants who rated 4 or 5 (9 or 10 for NPS®) is taken for each of the four component metrics (Top 2 box (% of 4s + 5s) for these 8 questions).
Behavioral score explained
- The Behavioral score shows the average participant success rate for each task in one score.
- An average score for each metric is calculated and shows the score % for the Behavioral measures.
- This measure is a great way to understand how effectively participants interacted with your stimulus.
QXscore explained
- QXscore % is calculated using this formula:
(Total Attitudinal score average + Task success average) ÷ 2 - The Behavioral and Attitudinal scores have equal weighting.

What is the UZIndex in Results?
- QXscore is measured on a 100 point scale.
- Like most scores (For example, those provided by Forrester or Gartner) there is a need to rationalize or grade it to answer the question, "So what?".
- Grading on a qualitative scale, the UZIndex refers to translating the score to Very Poor, Poor, Average, Good, or Great.
- UZIndex grading comes from data analysis based on a collection of scores from our own benchmark when developing the score.
