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 opinion-scale ratings on forecast accuracy, data quality, and cross-functional input with an AI follow-up interview that adaptively probes low-confidence areas in the respondent's own words
- Separates confidence in historical/internal data from confidence in external market data and expert judgment, giving forecasting teams a more diagnostic breakdown than a single generic rating
- Includes dedicated scenario-planning questions (frequency, clarity of assumptions, usefulness of outputs) alongside an open-text prompt for improvement priorities, plus role/function/tenure/region segmentation for cross-functional analysis
- Automatically scores response quality and generates a report, so results on forecasting gaps and planning bottlenecks are ready for review without manual tallying
