Innovation Idea Submission Experience Survey
Captures how easy, motivating, and fair the idea submission process felt to someone who just submitted an idea to your innovation program — covering guideline clarity, form usability, and intent to submit again. An AI follow-up interview reconstructs the actual idea's context and the friction that almost stopped them from submitting, giving program owners concrete fixes instead of a generic satisfaction score.

Q07
AI Interview
Reconstruct the specific problem or opportunity behind this respondent's idea — what triggered it and who else it affects — and identify the single biggest moment of friction or hesitation during submission (a confusing field, uncertainty about ownership/credit, fear of a bad reaction, technical glitch, etc.). If they say the process was smooth, probe whether they almost didn't submit at all and what changed their mind. If they mention a past idea that went nowhere, ask what feedback loop they expected but didn't get.

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 an AI follow-up interview that reconstructs the actual idea's context and the specific friction that almost stopped the person from submitting, rather than just capturing a satisfaction score
- Combines structured metrics (ease-of-submission opinion scale, instruction-clarity rating, agreement matrix) with an open long-text question on what change would increase future submissions, so program owners get both quantifiable and qualitative signal
- Asks what prompted the submission and how the person first heard about the program, giving innovation teams insight into which channels and motivations actually drive idea flow
- Closes with an intent-to-resubmit opinion scale plus department/tenure classification questions, letting owners segment friction and motivation by team and experience level
Jotform
Idea Submission Form TemplateA static, customizable form template for collecting employee or customer ideas, built on Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder. It's a fielding-ready form for capturing idea submissions but is not designed to measure or diagnose the submission experience itself. No interview or follow-up mechanism is described.
What it does well
- Easy drag-and-drop customization within Jotform's broader form builder ecosystem
- Likely supports file uploads and integrations common to Jotform templates
- Quick to deploy for basic idea intake
Where it falls short
- Static form with no adaptive follow-up questioning to probe why an idea was or wasn't easy to submit
- No mechanism to reconstruct the context or friction behind a specific submission
- No published methodology for how responses are scored or interpreted
SurveySparrow
Idea Submission Form TemplateA conversational-style form template aimed at employee idea submission, consistent with SurveySparrow's chat-like survey format. It focuses on collecting the idea itself rather than evaluating the submission experience (form clarity, guideline understanding, likelihood to resubmit). No indication of AI-driven follow-up or per-response quality scoring.
What it does well
- Conversational UI that may feel more approachable than a traditional form
- Positioned specifically for employee-facing idea programs
- Likely integrates with SurveySparrow's existing survey distribution tools
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI interview to dig into the specific idea's context or the friction that nearly stopped submission
- No automated per-response quality scoring or auto-generated report focused on submission-experience metrics
- Fixed question set with no evidence of voice-based interviewing or guided screen-share tasks
