QUESTION WORDING LAB
Assumes a positive answer
Would you agree that everything about in-store demonstration was clear and easy?
Ask about the actual situation
Which function was explained clearly?
The first wording combines an assumed positive outcome with two different judgments. The revised prompt asks about a specific experience and permits an inconvenient or uncertain answer.
A worked interpretation example
From a comment to a practical next step.
Illustrative scenario. These are not customer results.
Choose an action to test
Include a realistic use example.
Check the experience again
After trying the change, repeat “Which function was explained clearly?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: demonstrations show features without a normal use scenario. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
Read the answers carefully
Keep the conclusion within the evidence.
Do not make unverified safety or performance claims.

From question to next step
Make the feedback useful.
Set the decision
Start with the decision: Understand usefulness of an item demonstration.
Invite relevant voices
Invite people with relevant experience. Ask after someone has encountered the situation described in “Which function was explained clearly?”, while they can still recall the details. For material testing, show the actual draft first; for planning, ask before the next relevant activity.
Choose an action
Include a realistic use example.
A useful starting point
Questions to understand the actual experience.
Understand usefulness of an item demonstration. Use the prompts relevant to your audience and allow people to skip situations they did not encounter. Keep response handling consistent with what you explain in the invitation.
If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.
Which function was explained clearly?
The clearly explained function identifies which part of the demonstration connected a feature with understandable behavior. Do not treat clarity as proof of performance.
What practical question remained?
An unanswered practical question identifies the boundary between what the demonstration showed and the shopper's intended use. Provide verified scope or a suitable official reference, without inferring effectiveness from the demonstration alone.
What example would help?
A useful example identifies the practical use context still missing from the demonstration. Show verified behavior and relevant limits rather than inferring suitability for every shopper.

Choose the response format
Make room for the explanation.
| Question | Suggested format | What to preserve |
|---|---|---|
| Which function was explained clearly? | Optional short text | Retain the specific point or condition described; avoid replacing it with an unexplained rating. |
| What practical question remained? | Optional written explanation | Keep context that distinguishes different experiences. Do not make unverified safety or performance claims. |
| What example would help? | Optional improvement suggestion | Keep the suggested change separate from whether it has been tested. Include a realistic use example. |
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.

Questions, answered.
Who should receive this questionnaire?
Shoppers who attempted the described purchasing task. Ask only about steps each person encountered; do not treat a voluntary response sample as representative.
When should I ask these questions?
Ask after someone has encountered the situation described in “Which function was explained clearly?”, while they can still recall the details. For material testing, show the actual draft first; for planning, ask before the next relevant activity.
What should I investigate in the answers?
Demonstrations show features without a normal use scenario. This is an illustrative pattern to look for, not a claim about your respondents. Do not make unverified safety or performance claims.
What would a practical follow-up look like?
Include a realistic use example. After trying the change, repeat “Which function was explained clearly?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: demonstrations show features without a normal use scenario. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
How should I ask “What practical question remained?”?
An unanswered practical question identifies the boundary between what the demonstration showed and the shopper's intended use. Provide verified scope or a suitable official reference, without inferring effectiveness from the demonstration alone. Use an optional written explanation when predefined choices would hide relevant context.
Can I use the questions in SurveyTeams?
Copy the prompts or download TXT, CSV, JSON, or a Markdown worksheet, then adapt them in your own survey. The CTA opens registration; it does not import this example automatically. Verify available features in your account.
