Study template: prototype walkthrough
Walk the whole flow and find where it breaks
Walk users through a multi-step flow and map where the journey breaks down.Paste your prototype URL and Fiuto builds this walkthrough around it, free, in minutes. Every block is yours to change before launch.
A preview player for the prototype walkthrough template. It steps through the 5 blocks a respondent meets, resting on the prototype test.
How it works
Fiuto runs your full research loop
Paste a URL and Fiuto takes it from there. No research experience needed.
What you will learn
5 blocks, about 7 minutes to answer.
- Whether the end-to-end flow makes sense as a sequence
- Which step in the journey causes the most hesitation
- How each stage rates for clarity and ease, separately
The study, block by block
In the order a respondent meets them. Every prompt is rewritten around your product when you paste the URL.

Instruction
Prototype walkthrough
You're going to step through a prototype flow from start to finish. Work through each screen at your own pace, then we'll ask a few questions about how it went.
Live prototype
You want to complete the full flow this prototype covers. Start at the beginning and work through to the end.
In the prototype
Walk us through what you did, step by step.
How clear was the sequence from one step to the next? (5-point scale, Very confusing to Crystal clear)
Matrix
Rate each stage of the flow.
3 rows rated Confusing / Unclear / Okay / Clear / Obvious
Getting started, The main action, Confirmation or completion

Which step would you most want to change, and why?
Optional
Who it is for
For a designer or product manager with a multi-step prototype: sign-up to first action, a checkout, a setup wizard. It suits a flow that is complete enough to click through end to end, before it is built for real.
For one task rather than the whole journey, the single-task usability test is shorter. For a flow that is already live, the live website usability test records the real thing.
Make it yours

Before you launch
The notes the template ships with, from the researcher who wrote it.
- Use this when you want to evaluate a journey, not just a single action. A sign-up flow, an onboarding sequence, or a checkout are good fits.
- Give respondents a scenario that spans the whole flow ("You're a new customer who wants to..."), not just the first step.
- Read matrix scores step by step. A step that's clear but not easy usually signals missing affordances. A step that's easy but not clear usually signals the wrong label or icon.
- Run with 5 to 8 people. Pattern-level friction shows up early, and you can iterate before a larger round.
What you get back
AI testers run the study first and report what they found, so you see whether the task reads and whether the questions land before a real person opens the link. Then the real responses arrive: every click, rating, and answer per respondent, and Fiuto's reading of them as findings, a readout you can share behind a link, and a deck.
Your data is yours: results as JSON or CSV through a per-study token, or over MCP from the coding agent you build in.
Frequently asked questions
01How long does the prototype walkthrough take to answer?
About 7 minutes. 5 blocks: the intake, the task or the questions, and the follow-ups. Fiuto shows the estimate to respondents on the study's first screen.
02Can I change the blocks?
Yes, every one. Fiuto rewrites the template around your product when you paste the URL, and you can edit any prompt, add a block, remove one, or change the order before you launch. Save the result as your own template to reuse it.
03Who answers it?
AI testers first, so you see what the study finds before anyone real does. Then real people: recruited from a global panel of 300,000+ participants powered by Prolific, with demographic filters, or your own users when you share the link. Respondents open the link and answer, no account needed.
04Is this template free?
Yes. Every template and every block type is on every plan, including Free. The free plan includes 1 live study a month, 10 responses per study, and 600 AI credits a month. No card, no time limit.
