PLAN A BOUNDED FOLLOW-UP

START WITH THIS OBSERVATION

Notices confuse start times with restoration estimates.

TEST ONE CHANGE

Separate planned timing from uncertain estimates.

REVISIT THE EXPERIENCE

After testing this change—Separate planned timing from uncertain estimates.—ask people who encountered the changed arrangement whether this original issue still occurred or did not occur: “Notices confuse start times with restoration estimates.” Invite a concrete explanation, including none or not applicable. Compare participant context and sample differences; a before-and-after survey alone does not establish causation.

Synthetic planning example. A repeat survey alone does not establish causation.

A useful starting point

Three questions for this specific decision.

Clarify planned service-interruption notices. These prompts examine interruption scope, timing clarity, update channel. 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.

QUESTION 01

What interruption detail did you understand?

Read for interruption scope. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.

QUESTION 02

Which timing statement was uncertain?

Read for timing clarity. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.

QUESTION 03

What update channel did you need?

Read for update channel. 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.

BEFORE / LEADING

Would you agree that this entire experience was clear and easy?

AFTER / CONTEXTUAL

What interruption detail 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.

Before you send it

Questions, answered.

Who should answer?

Adult visitors, travelers and service operators who encountered the described information or arrangement. Ask only about the step each person actually encountered; voluntary responses are not automatically representative.

What does the first question help explain?

Read for interruption scope. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score. It supports this decision: Clarify planned service-interruption notices.

What should I preserve in the second answer?

Read for timing clarity. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.

How should I read the third answer?

Read for update channel. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score. Do not provide health or safety advice.

What would a practical follow-up look like?
