Three questions for this specific decision.
Improve temporary management coverage. These prompts examine owner clarity, handover gap, contact usefulness. 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.
What handover information was missing?
Read for handover gap. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.
What contact route worked?
Read for contact usefulness. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.

Before you send it

Would you agree that this entire experience was clear and easy?
Which decision owner was unclear?

Illustrative scenario. These are not customer results.
Keep the finding specific

Check the experience again
After testing this change—Specify interim decision roles.—ask people who encountered the changed arrangement whether this original issue still occurred or did not occur: “Coverage plans omit approval responsibilities.” 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.
From question to next step

Choose the response format
Make room for the explanation.
| Question | Suggested format | What to preserve |
|---|---|---|
| Which decision owner was unclear? | Optional free text; none or not applicable accepted | Read for owner clarity. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score. |
| What handover information was missing? | Optional free text; none or not applicable accepted | Read for handover gap. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score. |

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.
