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 adaptive AI follow-up interviews that probe deeper into confusing or concerning moments during recovery phrase setup, going beyond static rating scales.
- Covers the full self-custody journey in one survey — account creation, seed phrase recording/verification, network connection, and on-chain transaction clarity (gas fees, destination address display, transaction status, token approvals).
- Pairs opinion-scale clarity ratings at each setup step with open-text questions and a ranking exercise on transaction priorities, giving both quantifiable friction scores and qualitative context.
- Automated per-response quality scoring and auto-generated reporting turn wallet-user feedback into a structured UX findings report without manual analysis.
