Check the experience again
After trying the change, repeat “Which item description was unclear?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: requesters cannot distinguish similar item specifications. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
Choose the response format
Make room for the explanation.
| Question | Suggested format | What to preserve |
|---|---|---|
| Which item description was unclear? | Optional short text | Retain the specific point or condition described; avoid replacing it with an unexplained rating. |
| What availability information was missing? | Optional written explanation | Keep context that distinguishes different experiences. Do not collect sensitive stock or security details. |
| What alternative would help? | Optional improvement suggestion | Keep the suggested change separate from whether it has been tested. Add concise specifications and suitable alternatives. |
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
Keep the conclusion within the evidence.
Do not collect sensitive stock or security details.

A useful starting point
Questions to understand the actual experience.
Improve requests for routine supplies. Use the prompts relevant to your audience and allow people to skip situations they did not encounter. Keep response handling consistent with what you explain in the invitation.
If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.
Which item description was unclear?
Use this answer to locate the part of the experience that needs explanation. The example issue to investigate is: requesters cannot distinguish similar item specifications.
What availability information was missing?
Missing availability information identifies why requesters cannot plan around a supply request. Explain verified stock-status or request conditions, without promising fulfillment or requiring respondents to disclose sensitive inventory or security details.
What alternative would help?
Turn the requested improvement into a testable next step. One illustrative action is: add concise specifications and suitable alternatives.

Set the decision
Start with the decision: Improve requests for routine supplies.
Invite relevant voices
Invite people with relevant experience. Ask after someone has encountered the situation described in “Which item description was unclear?”, while they can still recall the details. For material testing, show the actual draft first; for planning, ask before the next relevant activity.
Choose an action
Add concise specifications and suitable alternatives.
Before you send it
Check what your wording assumes.
Would you agree that everything about internal stock request was clear and easy?
Which item description was unclear?
The first wording combines an assumed positive outcome with two different judgments. The revised prompt asks about a specific experience and permits an inconvenient or uncertain answer.

Questions, answered.
Who should receive this questionnaire?
Colleagues who used or delivered the described internal process. Ask only about steps each person encountered; do not treat a voluntary response sample as representative.
When should I ask these questions?
Ask after someone has encountered the situation described in “Which item description was unclear?”, while they can still recall the details. For material testing, show the actual draft first; for planning, ask before the next relevant activity.
What should I investigate in the answers?
Requesters cannot distinguish similar item specifications. This is an illustrative pattern to look for, not a claim about your respondents. Do not collect sensitive stock or security details.
What would a practical follow-up look like?
Add concise specifications and suitable alternatives. After trying the change, repeat “Which item description was unclear?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: requesters cannot distinguish similar item specifications. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
How should I ask “What availability information was missing?”?
Missing availability information identifies why requesters cannot plan around a supply request. Explain verified stock-status or request conditions, without promising fulfillment or requiring respondents to disclose sensitive inventory or security details. Use an optional written explanation when predefined choices would hide relevant context.
Can I use the questions in SurveyTeams?
Copy the prompts or download TXT, CSV, JSON, or a Markdown worksheet, then adapt them in your own survey. The CTA opens registration; it does not import this example automatically. Verify available features in your account.
