When to ask
Ask after an adult respondent has encountered this specific situation. For draft-copy testing, show the actual material first; accept none or not applicable when the issue did not occur.

Before sending, explain handling, optional participation, and contact details. This example is not sent by the preview.

A worked interpretation example

From a comment to a practical next step.

Illustrative scenario. These are not customer results.

01 / OBSERVE

Keep the finding specific

References use opaque titles.

02 / INVESTIGATE

Choose an action to test

Use descriptive source labels.

03 / FOLLOW UP

Check the experience again

After testing this change—Use descriptive source labels.—ask people who encountered the changed arrangement whether this original issue still occurred or did not occur: “References use opaque titles.” Invite a concrete explanation, including none or not applicable. Compare participant context and sample differences; a before-and-after survey alone does not establish causation.

A useful starting point

Three questions for this specific decision.

Improve source reference navigation. These prompts examine claim intent, label meaning, evidence gap. Choose only questions your audience can answer. A missing detail can be answered with none; do not assume an issue occurred.

If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.

QUESTION 01

Which claim did you want checked?

Read for claim intent. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.

QUESTION 02

What reference label was unclear?

Read for label meaning. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.

QUESTION 03

What evidence link was missing?

Read for evidence gap. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.

Make questions optional where appropriate. If you add a rating scale, label its endpoints, keep one idea per question, and retain a follow-up for reasons. These examples are not a validated measurement instrument.

Read the answers carefully

What these answers cannot establish.

Do not invent citations.

References use opaque titles. This is an illustrative pattern, not observed customer data. Do not invent citations.

Before you send it

Check what your wording assumes.

BEFORE / LEADING

Would you agree that this entire experience was clear and easy?

AFTER / CONTEXTUAL

Which claim did you want checked?

The first wording assumes a positive outcome and combines clarity with ease. The revised prompt asks about the concrete situation; respondents may report no difficulty.

Before you send it

Questions, answered.

Who should answer?

Adult readers or prospective users evaluating the actual communication or material. Ask only about the step each person actually encountered; voluntary responses are not automatically representative.

What does the first question help explain?

Read for claim intent. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score. It supports this decision: Improve source reference navigation.

What should I preserve in the second answer?

Read for label meaning. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.

How should I read the third answer?

Read for evidence gap. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score. Do not invent citations.

What would a practical follow-up look like?

Use descriptive source labels. After testing this change—Use descriptive source labels.—ask people who encountered the changed arrangement whether this original issue still occurred or did not occur: “References use opaque titles.” Invite a concrete explanation, including none or not applicable. Compare participant context and sample differences; a before-and-after survey alone does not establish causation.
