A useful starting point

Three questions for this specific decision.

Improve lost-property guidance. These prompts examine help discovery, collection clarity, hours. 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

Where did you seek assistance?

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

QUESTION 02

What collection instruction was unclear?

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

QUESTION 03

What opening detail was missing?

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

01 / OBSERVE

Keep the finding specific

02 / INVESTIGATE

Choose an action to test

Add verified desk location and hours.

03 / FOLLOW UP

Check the experience again

After testing this change—Add verified desk location and hours.—ask people who encountered the changed arrangement whether this original issue still occurred or did not occur: “Maps omit the lost-property desk.” 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.

Before you send it

Check what your wording assumes.

BEFORE / LEADING

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

AFTER / CONTEXTUAL

Where did you seek assistance?

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.
