  • Includes a dedicated AI moderator interview segment to explore plan decisions in depth after the structured questions
  • Combines quantitative measures (opinion scales, rankings, dropdowns) with open-text questions on upgrade/downgrade risks and required changes, giving both breadth and depth
  • Segments respondents by role, plan, seats, and company firmographics so churn-risk and migration-friction findings can be prioritized by account type
