Please read the following dashboard scenario carefully before answering the next few questions. • Q2 total emissions: 2,400 tCO₂e (down 12% vs Q1) • Emissions by source: Electricity 45% · Business travel 30% · Logistics 25% • Renewable electricity coverage: 35% • Business travel: up 8% vs Q1 • Forecast: +5% next quarter if no actions taken • 2030 target: 42% reduction from 2020 baseline; current progress: 18%
Based on the scenario, which source currently contributes the most to emissions?
- Electricity
- Business travel
- Logistics
If no actions are taken, what does the scenario's forecast suggest for next quarter?
- Emissions likely increase by about 5%
- Emissions likely decrease by about 5%
- Emissions remain roughly flat
- No forecast is shown
How confident are you that you could identify the top three emission drivers using the dashboard?
Based on the scenario, rank the following actions from highest to lowest priority.
- Increase renewable electricity procurement
- Reduce business travel
- Optimize logistics routing/loads
- Request more granular source or region data
- Set interim reduction targets by function
What additional information would help you decide on actions today? Select all that apply.
- Cost impact and payback periods
- Site- or route-level breakdowns
- Uncertainty / confidence intervals
- Seasonality or normalization factors
- Travel policy levers and expected savings
- Supplier-specific emissions and engagement status
- Benchmarks vs targets or peers
- Data freshness and next update timing
- Other (please specify)
About how long would it take you to find current-quarter business travel emissions on the dashboard?
- Less than 1 minute
- 1–2 minutes
- 3–5 minutes
- 6–10 minutes
- More than 10 minutes
- I would not know where to find it

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
- Includes scenario-based comprehension tasks (identifying top emission sources, forecast interpretation) that test actual understanding, not just self-reported ease-of-use
- Uses a ranking exercise to see how stakeholders prioritize reduction actions, plus targeted opinion-scale clarity ratings across five distinct dashboard elements (trend lines, source breakdown, forecasts, targets, suggested actions)
- Includes an AI follow-up interview that adaptively probes reported barriers to acting on dashboard insights, going beyond a static open-text box
- Segments results by role, region, and years of sustainability-data experience, and asks about device used to view the dashboard, giving context Jotform/QuestionPro-style static forms don't structurally capture
QuestionPro
System Usability Scale Survey Template | Sample Survey, Examples, Questions & QuestionnairesThis is a generic System Usability Scale (SUS) template, a widely used 10-item static questionnaire for rating any software's usability. It is fielding-ready but is a general-purpose instrument, not tailored to carbon dashboards, emissions data, or stakeholder decision-making. Teams would need to heavily customize or supplement it to assess comprehension of sustainability metrics.
What it does well
- Based on the well-established, validated SUS methodology with known benchmarking norms
- Quick to deploy for a broad usability score on any tool or interface
- Simple, standardized format familiar to UX researchers
Where it falls short
- Static 10-item form with no adaptive AI follow-up to probe why a user found something confusing or unusable
- No scenario-based comprehension testing — measures perceived ease of use, not whether users can actually interpret emissions data or forecasts correctly
- No automated per-response quality scoring or auto-generated reporting; results require manual analysis and scoring against SUS norms
