Of the concerns below about AI monitoring of work quality, which matters most to you and which matters least?

• The accuracy of what AI monitoring measures
• Lack of transparency about how it's used
• Fear it could affect my job security or pay
• Loss of privacy in how I work
• Potential bias against certain people or teams
• Loss of control over how my work is judged
• Being reduced to a score without human context
• Where and how the data is stored or shared

How accurate do you think AI-generated quality scores are at capturing the real quality of your work?

Reconstruct one specific recent moment when AI monitoring or an AI-generated quality score affected the respondent — what it flagged or measured, how they found out, and what they did next. Anchor on their comfort and trust ratings: if they're uncomfortable or distrustful, dig into the exact moment trust broke down and what evidence would rebuild it; if they're comfortable, probe whether that's based on real experience or just assumption. If they say monitoring has never directly affected them, ask what they've heard from coworkers instead.
