Concept Testing Tool for Choosing the Right Creative Direction

Upload multiple concepts, invite focused feedback, read the signal, and make the call with a decision record your team can actually use.

Your concepts are not public. Teststrip is designed for early creative, product, and brand work that needs focused feedback before a team makes the call.

The problem

Concept feedback gets messy fast

Concept testing should help a team choose a direction. Too often, it creates more debate. Feedback comes in from meetings, Slack, email, surveys, and decks. People react to different details, the strongest signal gets buried, and someone has to rebuild the rationale before the next review.

Teststrip gives the decision its own room, with the concepts, the questions, and the feedback all in one place.

How Teststrip helps

A focused room for the concept decision

  • Upload concept routes side by side
  • Invite reviewers with a single link, no accounts
  • Ask focused questions per concept
  • Compare feedback across routes at a glance
  • Surface preference themes and concerns
  • Get a decision-ready readout

Example shown above: four apparel directions reviewed before the team commits to the next round.
