IT Pre-Installation Readiness & Expectations Survey
Captures a client site's readiness before an IT hardware, software, or network installation — infrastructure state, scheduling constraints, and stakeholder concerns. An AI follow-up interview digs into the technical dependencies and edge cases that determine whether installation day goes smoothly, helping IT teams and project managers de-risk the rollout.

Q09
Long Text
Describe any known constraints, legacy systems, or blockers our team should be aware of before installing (e.g., '(Replace with example: outdated firewall firmware, VPN-only remote sites)').
Q10
AI InterviewRequired
Reconstruct the technical environment behind the respondent's stated readiness and top concern: which specific systems, dependencies, or third-party vendors are involved, whether any prior installations at this site went wrong and why, and what would need to be true for install day to go smoothly. If they flagged low readiness on any area, probe concretely what is missing and who owns fixing it before the scheduled date.

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 question types (multiple choice, matrix, ranking, constant sum, numeric) with an AI follow-up interview that reconstructs the technical environment behind each respondent's stated readiness, surfacing dependencies a static form would miss
- Captures both quantitative readiness signals (per-area matrix ratings, scheduling constraints, device counts) and open-ended context (known blockers, legacy systems) in one flow
- Uses a constant-sum question to force respondents to prioritize their concerns relative to each other, giving IT teams a clearer risk-ranking than simple checkbox lists
- Automatically generates a report from combined structured answers and AI interview findings, so project managers get install-day risk context without manually reviewing raw responses
