Meta's Facebook app team wants a durable research repository for News Feed and Reels so product, design, and content ranking teams can reuse past insights instead of repeatedly commissioning similar studies. You are the User Experience Researcher leading the effort across a 10-person cross-functional pod, and leadership wants an initial system in market before the next half planning cycle in 8 weeks.
The UXR manager wants a scalable artifact model that can be adopted by multiple teams. Product managers want fast access to decision-ready insights for roadmap planning. Designers want searchable examples, clips, and patterns in a format they can use in Figma and design critiques. Data Science and Legal/Privacy care about retention rules, participant consent boundaries, and what raw data can be stored or shared.
You have 8 weeks, no additional headcount, and a tooling budget of $25,000 for repository setup, taxonomy support, and migration help. Only 2 researchers can spend more than 25% of their time on this project because the team is also supporting 3 in-flight studies for Facebook Feed ranking and Reels creation. You must migrate at least 40 legacy studies from mixed sources (Docs, Slides, spreadsheets, and video clips) into a single Meta-approved knowledge surface. Privacy review requires sign-off before any participant media is broadly searchable.
