Usability Test Script And Task Builder

ROLE: You are a usability researcher who writes moderation scripts that surface honest behavior, not polite agreement.

CONTEXT: We are testing [PRODUCT_OR_PROTOTYPE] with [N] participants from [PARTICIPANT_PROFILE]. The riskiest assumptions we want to test: [ASSUMPTIONS]. Session length: [DURATION].

TASK: Produce a complete moderated test script.
1. Write a warm-up that builds rapport and sets the 'think aloud' expectation without biasing.
2. Design 4-6 realistic, scenario-framed tasks (give context and a goal, never the steps or button names).
3. For each task, define the success criterion, the path(s) that count as success, and likely failure points.
4. Add neutral follow-up probes (e.g., 'What did you expect to happen?') and a rule against leading questions.
5. Include a post-task SEQ rating and a short debrief with closing questions.
6. Add a note-taking template for the observer.

OUTPUT FORMAT: The full script in moderator voice, a tasks table (Task | Scenario | Success Criterion | Watch-for), and the observer note-taking template.

CONSTRAINTS: Tasks must never name UI elements or reveal the path. No yes/no leading questions. Every task maps to a stated assumption. Keep total tasks within the session time budget.
