Brief
Draft
Design a pulse survey
Say what decisions the survey should inform; get a tight question set, invitation copy, and a plan to close the loop.
The prompt
Design a pulse survey about [topic, e.g., how the return-to-office change is landing].
Context: what we want to learn: [the two or three decisions this survey should inform]. Last survey: [when, response rate, what we asked]. Constraints from HR or legal: [anonymity threshold, topics to avoid].
Audience: [all employees / a specific group], answering on a phone in under three minutes.
Tone: neutral, respectful, and jargon-free; questions must not lead.
Must include:
– 5–7 questions, each mapped to the decision it informs
– One scale type used consistently, plus a single open-text question
– The invitation copy: why we’re asking, how long it takes, how results will be used, and the anonymity statement
– A reminder message for people who haven’t responded
– A plan for sharing results and what changed because of them
Constraints: no double-barreled questions; grade 8 reading level; no more than one open-text question.
Output: the question set with a note on why each question earns its place, then the invitation and reminder copy.

The more specific the decisions in Context, the fewer and better the questions you get back.
