# Survey summary comprehension survey

Improve explanations of published feedback findings.

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

## 1. What conclusion did the summary support?

Answer: ____________________

## 2. What sample context was missing?

Answer: ____________________

## 3. What limitation should be clearer?

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: readers interpret a small voluntary sample as representative.
2. Missing sample context identifies information readers need to judge whose feedback the summary describes. Explain actual recruitment, response scope and timing, rather than presenting voluntary respondents as representative of the entire audience.
3. Turn the requested improvement into a testable next step. One illustrative action is: explain sample source and limitations prominently.

Interpretation caution: Do not imply causal or representative results.


## Illustrative finding and follow-up

Observation: Readers interpret a small voluntary sample as representative.

Action to test: Explain sample source and limitations prominently.

Follow-up: After trying the change, repeat “What conclusion did the summary support?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: readers interpret a small voluntary sample as representative. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
