Why this template
What this template is built to do — we found no directly comparable template from other survey tools to review.
What sets it apart
- Includes a dedicated outcomes ranking exercise plus seven opinion-scale ratings on specific JTBD outcome statements (speed, error reduction, confidence, progress visibility, coordination, findability, avoiding rework), enabling real opportunity-score calculation, not just satisfaction averages
- Pairs quantitative outcome ratings with an AI follow-up interview that dynamically probes on whichever outcomes the respondent rated as most important yet least satisfied, surfacing root causes static surveys miss
- Captures firmographic and role context (company size, functional area, role level, tenure, collaborator count) so opportunity scores can be segmented for roadmap prioritization
- Closes with an open-ended catch-all question and thank-you message referencing that responses directly inform the product roadmap, reinforcing respondent motivation and data usability
