card sorting

Card sorting is a method used to organize information or ideas by having people group related items together on cards. Participants sort these cards into categories that make sense to them, revealing how they naturally categorize information. This technique helps designers and developers understand how users think about content, improving the structure and navigation of websites, apps, or other systems. Essentially, it's a way to gather insights into people's mental models and preferences for organizing information in a way that feels intuitive.
