What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

How it compares

We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.

Why this template

  • Purpose-built for DAO governance, not generic membership: dedicated blocks on proposal clarity, review time, and whether feedback is incorporated before a vote is called
  • Covers the full governance funnel in one flow — contribution frequency and barriers, voting confidence and perceived fairness, and treasury report readability/frequency, ending with a ranking of treasury transparency improvements
  • Includes an AI follow-up interview segment so members can explain in their own words why they didn't vote or contribute, going beyond fixed-choice barrier lists
  • Transparent prompts and automated per-response quality scoring give governance leads an auditable, ready-to-share report rather than raw export data

QuestionPro

Non Profit Member Satisfaction Survey Questions + Sample Questionnaire Template

This is a sample-questionnaire guide for nonprofit membership organizations rather than a DAO- or web3-specific instrument, so proposal, voting, and treasury-transparency questions have to be built from scratch. It's a reasonable starting point for general member-satisfaction wording but not fielding-ready for decentralized governance out of the box.

What it does well

  • Established survey platform with broad question-bank support for membership organizations
  • Provides sample questionnaire text as a starting point rather than a blank page
  • Applicable to general nonprofit/community contexts beyond a single use case

Where it falls short

  • Static question set with no adaptive AI follow-up to probe low satisfaction or non-participation answers
  • No DAO-specific coverage of proposal process, on-chain voting confidence, or treasury reporting
  • No published methodology for how responses are scored or synthesized into a report

Typeform

Member Satisfaction Survey Template

A conversational, one-question-at-a-time member satisfaction template aimed at general membership communities rather than decentralized governance specifically. Good for a polished respondent experience, but it doesn't address proposal review time, vote-counting trust, or treasury transparency, so it would need heavy customization for a DAO context.

What it does well

  • Clean, conversational form UI that's generally easy to complete on mobile
  • Simple to duplicate and re-brand for a generic community membership survey
  • Well-known platform with straightforward embedding/sharing options

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI interview or voice AI option — respondents get the same static question sequence regardless of answers
  • No built-in items on proposal process, voting confidence, or treasury reporting specific to on-chain governance
  • No automated per-response quality scoring or auto-generated analysis report
