Q09
AI Interview
Anchor on the respondent's stated likelihood to continue and their ratings of quality, value, and personalization. If they lean toward canceling, probe the specific trigger (a bad box, price hike, lack of relevance, competitor offer) and whether anything could win them back. If they lean toward continuing, probe what specifically earns their loyalty and whether any single aspect of the last box still disappointed them despite the overall positive intent.

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 best-worst (max-diff) trade-off exercise that forces subscribers to prioritize which curation levers (unboxing, product-value fit, pricing) actually drive retention, rather than rating everything highly
- Pairs a Van Westendorp price sensitivity block with a constant-sum 'ideal box' allocation, giving pricing and curation-mix data in the same flow
- Features an adaptive AI follow-up interview that anchors on each respondent's own stated renewal likelihood and satisfaction ratings to surface the real reason behind their renew/cancel intent, something static form builders cannot do
- Closes with an automated per-response quality score and auto-generated report, so subscription brands get a synthesized retention diagnosis rather than a raw response export
