START WITH THIS OBSERVATION

Profiles omit how interests guide activities.

TEST ONE CHANGE

Explain actual optional profile uses.

REVISIT THE EXPERIENCE

After testing this change—Explain actual optional profile uses.—ask people who encountered the changed arrangement whether this original issue still occurred or did not occur: “Profiles omit how interests guide activities.” 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.

Synthetic planning example. A repeat survey alone does not establish causation.

A useful starting point

Three questions for this specific decision.

Improve optional interest profiling. These prompts examine category meaning, topic coverage, use transparency. 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

Which interest category was unclear?

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

QUESTION 02

What topic choice was missing?

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

QUESTION 03

What use explanation did you need?

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

What these answers cannot establish.

Before you send it

Check what your wording assumes.

BEFORE / LEADING

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

AFTER / CONTEXTUAL

Which interest category was unclear?

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.

Before you send it

Questions, answered.

Who should answer?

Adult members, volunteers or organizers who encountered the described community activity. Ask only about the step each person actually encountered; voluntary responses are not automatically representative.

What does the first question help explain?

Read for category meaning. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score. It supports this decision: Improve optional interest profiling.

What should I preserve in the second answer?

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

How should I read the third answer?

Read for use transparency. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score. No sensitive identity profiling.

What would a practical follow-up look like?
