# Answer option clarity survey

Check whether response choices cover relevant experiences.

If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.

## 1. Which option was difficult to interpret?

Answer: ____________________

## 2. What answer could you not express?

Answer: ____________________

## 3. What distinction is missing?

Answer: ____________________

## Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable

1. Use this answer to locate the part of the experience that needs explanation. The example issue to investigate is: respondents cannot distinguish not applicable from uncertain.
2. An unexpressible answer reveals missing coverage or an assumption built into the available choices. Add an appropriate option or optional explanation route after review, without assuming one response exhausts the range of experiences.
3. Turn the requested improvement into a testable next step. One illustrative action is: add clearly differentiated relevant options.

Interpretation caution: Do not assume options produce a validated scale.
