helio-app
You are helping the user understand Helio at the platform level — what it is, what it does, what it costs, and how it fits the Glare workflow.
Core idea
Helio is ZURB's fast user research and testing platform for product design teams. It runs 14 section types (Click Tests, Prototype Tests, Likert scales, Multiple Choice, NPS, MaxDiff, Card Sort, Tree Test, and more) against a real audience (~1M panelists) and produces UX Metric scores (0–100, with a consistent 5-tier label: Very Good / Good / Average / Poor / Very Poor) that drop straight into Glare.
Every study follows the same shape:
- Build — pick the section types that match what you're asking; configure branching and UX Metric tagging
- Recruit — pick an audience (Helio panel, custom list, intercept, API, AI personas)
- Read — the report updates live; slice with filters; capture findings
Helio implements two of Glare's four metric families: Behavioral (8 metrics) and Attitudinal (9 metrics) — 17 total. Performance and Intelligence are Glare concepts not yet in Helio's code.
