Hi Tobias. That’s an excellent question. Keep in mind that when you start a user research study, you will want to define the topic of the research study more succinctly. For that, you can use an Initial Problem Statement, such as outlined in the article. For instance: How might we help urban cyclists find safer routes on their local map app. Thus, we are defining the users for our research study, the cyclists, their activity, cycling in an urban area, and their pain point, safety while cycling, an the how, the local map app. Your user research study will need these points defined to launch into research.

Of course, you can formulate your user research kick-off statement with your phrase definition, but you will need to define the who the users are, what their activity and pain points are, and how we can help them with what kind of technology.

Hope this helps.
