Check the experience again

After testing this change—Pair verified activities with locations.—ask people who encountered the changed arrangement whether this original issue still occurred or did not occur: “Programs omit activity locations.” Invite a concrete explanation, including none or not applicable.

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