EXAMPLE INVITATION BRIEF
Help us understand this experience.
Clarify mentoring arrangements.
- Who should respond
- Adult applicants, colleagues or team leaders who encountered the described arrangement; no individual evaluations
- When to ask
- Ask after an adult respondent has encountered this specific situation. For draft-copy testing, show the actual material first; accept none or not applicable when the issue did not occur.
Before sending, explain handling, optional participation, and contact details. This example is not sent by the preview.
A worked interpretation example
From a comment to a practical next step.
Illustrative scenario. These are not customer results.
Choose an action to test
Explain the approved mentoring scope.
Check the experience again
After testing this change—Explain the approved mentoring scope.—ask people who encountered the changed arrangement whether this original issue still occurred or did not occur: “Participants confuse mentoring with formal management.” 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.
Choose the response format
Make room for the explanation.
| Question | Suggested format | What to preserve |
|---|---|---|
| Which role boundary was unclear? | Optional free text; none or not applicable accepted | Read for boundary meaning. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score. |
| What contact route did you understand? | Optional free text; none or not applicable accepted | Read for contact clarity. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score. |
| What ending instruction was missing? | Optional free text; none or not applicable accepted | Read for ending guidance. 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.

A useful starting point
Three questions for this specific decision.
Clarify mentoring arrangements. These prompts examine boundary meaning, contact clarity, ending guidance. 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.
