QUESTION WORDING LAB
Would you agree that everything about workplace maintenance request was clear and easy?
What location detail was difficult to describe?
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.
A useful starting point
Improve reporting and tracking routine repairs. 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.
Identify the location label, landmark or approved reference the reporter struggled to provide. Improve the location guidance without collecting private records; duplicate-issue status is a separate question.
A missing update reveals whether repair communication lacks acknowledgment, responsibility or a next contact point. State the actual process stage and verified information, without promising a completion date based on feedback alone.
Turn the requested improvement into a testable next step. One illustrative action is: show appropriate current issue status before submission.

Read the answers carefully
Do not use surveys for urgent hazard reporting.
Reporters cannot tell whether a duplicate issue exists. This is a synthetic example, not a customer result. Do not use surveys for urgent hazard reporting.

A worked interpretation example
Illustrative scenario. These are not customer results.
Reporters cannot tell whether a duplicate issue exists.
Show appropriate current issue status before submission.
After trying the change, repeat “What location detail was difficult to describe?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: reporters cannot tell whether a duplicate issue exists. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
From question to next step
Start with the decision: Improve reporting and tracking routine repairs.
Invite people with relevant experience. Ask after someone has encountered the situation described in “What location detail was difficult to describe?”, while they can still recall the details. For material testing, show the actual draft first; for planning, ask before the next relevant activity.
Show appropriate current issue status before submission.
Choose the response format
| Question | Suggested format | What to preserve |
|---|---|---|
| What location detail was difficult to describe? | Optional short text | Retain the specific point or condition described; avoid replacing it with an unexplained rating. |
| Which update was missing? | Optional written explanation | Keep context that distinguishes different experiences. Do not use surveys for urgent hazard reporting. |
| What would simplify follow-up? | Optional improvement suggestion | Keep the suggested change separate from whether it has been tested. Show appropriate current issue status before submission. |
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.
Before you send it
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.

Reporters cannot tell whether a duplicate issue exists. This is an illustrative pattern to look for, not a claim about your respondents. Do not use surveys for urgent hazard reporting.

State the actual process stage and verified information, without promising a completion date based on feedback alone. Use an optional written explanation when predefined choices would hide relevant context.
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.
