    "What a buddy helped explain identifies which introductory support was useful. Preserve the subject and context without assuming buddies must answer every question.",
    "An unavailable buddy identifies when newcomers lacked a fallback for routine questions. Explain an appropriate alternative route and scope, without naming individuals or assuming the buddy should provide continuous access or managerial support.",
    "Knowledge future buddies should have identifies a preparation gap for the program. Distinguish a reference or escalation route from responsibilities outside the buddy role."

      "question": 1,
      "format": "Optional short text",
      "reason": "Retain the specific point or condition described; avoid replacing it with an unexplained rating."

    {
      "question": 2,
      "format": "Optional written explanation",
      "reason": "Keep context that distinguishes different experiences. Buddy support does not replace manager responsibility."

      "question": 3,
      "format": "Optional improvement suggestion",
      "reason": "Keep the suggested change separate from whether it has been tested. Give buddies an escalation contact list."
