### First round

In addition to making our homepage more in line with our new strategy, we were getting requests from users who fall into our "domain learner" and "question answerer" user types. They wanted summarized numbers on the homepage so they wouldn't have to dig through the [Explore Data](https://revenuedata.doi.gov/explore/) page to find them. We [tested 6 options](https://github.com/ONRR/doi-extractives-data/blob/research/research/20_fledglingfox/Results.md) with users matching a variety of user types. We landed on a couple options to test in the second round.

### Second round

In the [second round of testing](https://github.com/ONRR/doi-extractives-data/blob/research/research/21_obliviousorangutan/Results.md), we included new users to make sure our additions didn't scare away those without a basic understanding of the data. We also hadn't done extensive testing on the existing homepage with new users. In addition, we tested with more domain learners to make sure we were meeting their needs. We learned that we needed to summarily explain the production, revenue, and disbursement process on the homepage and Explore Data page and landed on the best approach for the new summary information.

### Third round

We then [tested 3 concepts](https://github.com/ONRR/doi-extractives-data/blob/research/research/22_QuietQuail/Results.md) with additional content at the top of the homepage to explain the data and how the different pieces of data work together. We landed on one concept that worked best and also learned that general-public users are most likely to use the site to explore data related to their geographic area, so the map needed to come before the new summary information on the homepage.

Judy was an excellent product champion, and we’ve done some reflecting on what makes a good champion in the hopes that it will help people in other agencies replicate some of the magic Judy brought to the Office of Natural Resources Revenue.

Judy was able to make the transition between two administrations feel seamless. She never cared who was in office and continues to work to serve the American public, no matter what. She adjusted some of the messaging to her audience by citing different laws that were enacted by each administration as reasons why the site needed to continue to exist, and as a result, the team and website weren’t affected much by the transition.
