Stakeholder Satisfaction & Relationship Health Survey

Measures how satisfied external and internal stakeholders (board members, funders, suppliers, community partners) are with your organization's communication, transparency, and responsiveness. An AI follow-up interview digs into the specific moment or decision behind their rating instead of settling for a generic score.

Q08
AI Interview

Probe the reasoning behind the respondent's overall satisfaction rating and their lowest-rated item in the aspect ratings above. Ask for a specific recent example or interaction that shaped their view, what a better version of that interaction would have looked like, and if their renewal likelihood was low, what single change would most increase it. If they rate everything positively with no specifics, gently push for one thing that could still be improved.

Thank you for your candor. Your responses will be reviewed by our leadership team and used to strengthen how we communicate and work with stakeholders like you.

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

  • Goes beyond a single satisfaction score with an AI follow-up interview that probes the reasoning and specific moment or decision behind a stakeholder's rating
  • Segments respondents by relationship type, tenure, and organization size so results can be broken out by board members, funders, suppliers, or community partners
  • Uses a matrix and max-diff to identify which specific aspects of the relationship (communication, transparency, responsiveness) matter most and where satisfaction lags
  • Includes a constant-sum question forcing stakeholders to prioritize a limited set of improvement areas, plus an open-ended long-text question and closing chat messages that set expectations for leadership review

Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey Template | Measure Stakeholder Engagement

This is a directly comparable, fielding-ready stakeholder satisfaction template covering similar relationship and engagement themes. It appears to rely on standard static question types rather than adaptive follow-up interviews. As with most template-library entries, the page doesn't disclose scoring methodology or how responses are analyzed beyond basic reporting.

What it does well

  • Purpose-built specifically for stakeholder satisfaction/engagement, so questions are pre-aligned to that use case
  • Part of a broader survey platform with omnichannel distribution options
  • Likely offers quick customization and deployment for common stakeholder-survey scenarios

Where it falls short

  • No indication of adaptive AI follow-up questioning to dig into the reasoning behind a rating — appears to be a fixed question set
  • No evidence of automated per-response quality scoring or transparent, published prompts
  • No voice AI interview option or guided screen-share tasks mentioned
