A useful starting point
Three questions for this specific decision.
Clarify software category positioning. These prompts examine category meaning, terminology, example. 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.
Which category term was unclear?
Read for terminology. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.
What task example was missing?
Read for example. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.

Before you send it
Check what your wording assumes.
Would you agree that this entire experience was clear and easy?
What task category did you understand?
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.
Read the answers carefully
What these answers cannot establish.

Compare participant context and sample differences; a before-and-after survey alone does not establish causation.
