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 a dedicated screening flow (diagnosed/suspected color vision difference, specific type) before any experience questions, so responses can be properly segmented rather than treated as one generic audience.
- Contains four distinct readability rating scales (light-on-dark, dark-on-light, low-contrast, colored-on-colored) to quantify perception differences instead of asking one vague 'how readable is it' question.
- Pairs quantitative satisfaction/likelihood-to-recommend scales with a ranking of alternative-to-color cues and a customization-preference question, directly connecting pain points to actionable design fixes.
- Includes an AI follow-up interview that lets participants elaborate on a described accessibility incident in their own words, something a fixed-question form cannot do.
QuestionPro
Product/Service Design Survey TemplateThis is a generic product/service design feedback template, not built around color vision or accessibility at all. It's a ready-to-field static form suited for broad design satisfaction feedback, but a team studying color/contrast accessibility would need to substantially rewrite it. Useful only as a starting skeleton, not a purpose-built accessibility instrument.
What it does well
- Part of an established survey platform with broad template variety and likely easy customization
- Likely includes standard rating-scale questions for gauging product/service satisfaction
Where it falls short
- No color vision, contrast, or digital accessibility focus in the template itself
- Static question set with no adaptive AI follow-up to probe individual accessibility incidents
- No published prompt methodology or automated per-response quality scoring
SurveyMonkey
Design Feedback Survey TemplateA general-purpose design feedback template aimed at gathering opinions on a design/product, not specifically color vision or contrast accessibility. It's fielding-ready for broad UX feedback collection but doesn't address diagnosed color vision differences, readability contrast scenarios, or assistive customization needs. Would require heavy rebuilding to serve this use case.
What it does well
- Backed by a widely-used survey platform, easy to deploy quickly
- Likely covers general aesthetic/usability feedback with familiar question formats
Where it falls short
- No questions targeting color vision differences or contrast-specific readability scenarios
- Fixed-question static form, no adaptive AI or voice interview to explore individual pain points
- No transparent prompt methodology or automated response quality scoring
