Reconstruct one specific, recent instance the respondent witnessed of a decision that either honored or contradicted a stated company value — anchor on what was actually decided, who made the call, and what was said publicly versus what happened in practice. If they say they've never witnessed a contradiction, probe for a moment that best exemplified a value being lived out well instead, and what made it credible.

That's everything — thank you for the candor. Your responses will be aggregated into a values-alignment report for leadership, and used to identify where our stated values need real changes to how we operate, not just new language.

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.

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

  • Includes a matrix and opinion-scale set that separately measures stated-value frequency versus lived decision-making, directly capturing the say-do gap rather than personal values in isolation.
  • Uses an AI follow-up interview step to reconstruct one specific, recent decision the respondent witnessed that honored or contradicted a stated value, producing concrete behavioral evidence instead of only abstract ratings.
  • Adds a ranking exercise and a multiple-choice item on which stated value gets set aside under pressure, giving leadership a prioritized, actionable view of where values erode first.
  • Closes with department, tenure, and role-level segmentation plus a trust-in-leadership rating, letting HR cross-tab the values gap by team and seniority in an auto-generated report.
