## Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable

1. Look for explanation scope.
2. Look for ambiguous wording.
3. Look for follow-up option.

Interpretation caution: No sensitive hiring-case details.


## Illustrative finding and follow-up

Observation: Messages imply feedback availability without a route.

Action to test: State the actual follow-up options.

Follow-up: After the proposed change, ask relevant participants whether this original issue still occurs: Messages imply feedback availability without a route. Record what they experienced, including none or not applicable; changes in the sample do not establish causation.
