@hanbyul-here @sandrahoang686 @dzole0311 I am curious if we have the technical infrastructure/instrumentation to do something like this

I think we could try that. The experiment would benefit if we had a clear list of user types and potential site content destinations. I am not sure we have enough content variety at this point.

6 months ago We found out today that the most important user group for GHGC is the decision makers. So this experiment might not be as valuable. When we get to thinking about the home page for GHGC, we should take this into consideration, though.

4 months ago @faustoperez I don't think we have another ticket for the design work here, do we?
If not, we can repurpose this one.
I created a miro board with my first stab at a workflow. Maybe I'm biased from past thinking, but there seems to be a nice separation along similar lines that we've had all along with the advanced user, medium technical ability, and general public. I tried to describe a workflow for each. I think there could be a lot of overlap, so I had each one flow into the less technical user group. However, a case could be made for keeping each one separate so that they are all shorter. (The scientist one is quite long)
Also calling out the inspiration above at NASA Lifelines which is kinda like sending each user group to a one-pager that describes how they could use the app. Brian also has mentioned that this could be a walkthrough tutorial. What might be some other options to convey this information to the users?

Thanks for the Miro board link. I will explore the one-pager route similar to the NASA Lifelines until we have clearer information on the content.
It's the destination page what I'm struggling with:
Not sure the destination page for Decision-makers would be the current Data Insights, I am imagining some new content we don't currently have, some sort of dashboard or report, similar to the "data explorers" here: https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics

Context
There has been discussion in this ticket for GHG to explore a homepage redesign that funnels users into workflows based on their user group. The NASA Lifelines page was given as inspiration. They drop a modal in front of their users and direct them to "learn more" pages specific to the user group. It seems to be that users only see this modal once, probably through the use of cookies.
This is a good example because NASA Lifelines does not have noticeably different user experiences in their portal based on the user group. It is not a big enough product to warrant that level of sophistication. GHG Center and VEDA are very much the same (up to this point)
Goals
I would like to run a low cost experiment to better understand 2 things:
Potential Experiment
One idea would be to drop a modal in front of 50% of our users to ask them to identify in one of these groups. From here, we could drop them all onto the Learn page or maybe the Intro to GHG data story. I don't think we need do develop much custom content for this experiment. Alternatively, instead of a modal, we could place some buttons, icons, or links somewhere near the top of the home page. Not making huge changes to the layout, just enough to see if people click on them.
