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 screened branching flow that only asks about noticed initiatives if the respondent has actually seen one, avoiding forced/fabricated answers
- Uses opinion-scale questions to separately measure perceived credibility, environmental impact, societal impact, and company-benefit impact of the same initiative, rather than one blended CSR score
- Includes a ranking question on what respondents believe companies should prioritize and a multiple-choice question on expected minimum standards, capturing normative expectations, not just perception
- Closes with an AI follow-up interview that asks respondents to elaborate on their own survey answers, and standard demographic questions (age, gender, country, education, employment) for segmentation
Jotform
Corporate Social Responsibility Survey Form TemplateA static, form-builder-style CSR survey template meant to be customized and embedded rather than fielded as-is with any interview logic. Good for quick internal deployment but built as a generic form rather than a research instrument with skip logic or perception scaling.
What it does well
- Easy to customize within Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder
- Can be embedded on websites or shared as a standalone link
- Familiar form format for quick internal or customer feedback collection
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up questioning to probe individual responses
- Static field types only, with no automated per-response quality scoring
- No transparent, publishable prompt/methodology behind the questions
SurveyMonkey
CSR Survey TemplateA conventional multiple-choice/rating-scale CSR survey template built on SurveyMonkey's standard question library. It covers general CSR awareness and opinion but does not appear to branch based on whether a respondent has actually noticed a company initiative.
What it does well
- Backed by SurveyMonkey's established survey distribution and panel tools
- Includes built-in analytics dashboards for aggregate reporting
- Quick to launch using pre-built question sets
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI interview or voice AI follow-up to explore individual reasoning
- No guided screen-share tasks or qualitative probing on specific initiatives noticed
- Quality is assessed only through completion/response-rate metrics, not per-response scoring
Typeform
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Survey TemplateA conversational, one-question-at-a-time CSR template that offers a pleasant respondent experience but relies on fixed question paths. It's a good-looking template rather than an adaptive research tool.
What it does well
- Polished, conversational UI that can improve completion rates
- Simple logic jumps for basic branching
- Wide range of visual customization options
Where it falls short
- No AI-driven follow-up interviewing to dig into open-ended sentiment
- No automated quality scoring of individual responses
- No transparent prompt documentation for how deeper questions would be generated
