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
- Combines structured multiple-choice benchmarking (KPI awareness, tracking frequency by biodiversity topic, data sources, target-setting) with an AI follow-up interview that probes deeper into respondents' reasoning around biodiversity measurement
- Includes two ranking exercises — prioritizing improvement areas and prioritizing types of support — giving clearer signal on where to invest than single-select barrier questions alone
- Uses opinion-scale questions to quantify both familiarity with biodiversity concepts and confidence in data quality, enabling trend tracking over time
- Captures role, region, tenure, and seniority so ESG and sustainability teams can segment maturity findings by function or geography, and closes with open-text questions on what success would look like
