VOLTBerlin 2026Internal tester briefingOpen tester handout →

Thursday meeting · Krzysztof + Axum

Brief the testers in 20 minutes.

A screen-share page for introducing Wahl-O-Volt and Volt.AI, explaining exactly how to test, and collecting feedback with almost no friction.

4 June 20262–3 first internal testers25–35 min test effortUX + trust signal, not launch sign-off

Status quo

Two connected prototypes are ready for friendly internal UX feedback.

Wahl-O-Volt is the short voting-advice-style experience. Volt.AI is the grounded campaign assistant. The combined flow is: quiz → result → explanation/conversation.

Frame it clearly

  • Good enough for 2–3 friendly internal testers.
  • Not public launch testing yet.
  • Judge clarity, trust, usefulness, and friction.
  • Wahl-O-Volt still uses a small fixture questionnaire.
  • Test Volt.AI on deployed preview / Pages runtime.

20-minute agenda

What Krzysztof can walk through on the call

0:00–2:00
Why we are testing

We are testing whether the tools are understandable, trustworthy, and useful — not final content quality, polish, or launch readiness.

2:00–5:00
What the products are

Wahl-O-Volt: answer questions and see your result. Volt.AI: ask follow-up questions about Volt, especially after the result.

5:00–8:00
How testers should test

10 min quiz, 10–15 min result-to-Volt.AI follow-up, 5–10 min direct Volt.AI questions, 2 min feedback.

8:00–13:00
What feedback we need

Clarity, trust, usefulness, friction. Short signals beat long design critique.

13:00–16:00
What not to overfocus on

Do not overjudge political matching, rewrite all copy, or stress-test every edge case.

16:00–18:00
Feedback format

One message using the six-question template. Screenshots only if easy.

18:00–20:00
Questions + logistics

Confirm links, access, feedback deadline, feedback channel, and who to ping if access breaks.

Talking point

Open the meeting with this sentence

“We are testing whether Wahl-O-Volt and Volt.AI are understandable, trustworthy, and useful as connected campaign tools. We are not testing final content quality, final design polish, or launch readiness yet.”

Tasks

Give testers exactly these jobs

A · Wahl-O-Volt

Open it, understand the first screen, complete the quiz once, inspect the result.

B · Result → Volt.AI

Continue into Volt.AI, ask why Volt fits, ask one skeptical and one practical Berlin question.

C · Direct Volt.AI

Ask 2–3 real voter questions. Optional: one weird/off-topic/sensitive edge case.

Feedback

Simple enough that people will actually do it

1. Overall feeling, 1 sentence: 2. Best moment: 3. Most confusing / least trustworthy moment: 4. One thing I would fix before showing this to more people: 5. Anything broken? Please paste link/screenshot if easy: 6. Would I recommend continuing this product direction? yes / no / unsure — why?

Before broader internal testers

Minimum go/no-go checklist

  • Tie handling in Wahl-O-Volt results.
  • Small methodology explanation.
  • Clear Volt campaign framing — not an official neutral Wahl-O-Mat.
  • Verify Volt.AI /api/ask on real deployed runtime.
  • Remove or gate provider diagnostics such as modeReasons.
  • Decide rate-limit / fail-closed requirements before the next tester wave.
