## Prompt

```text
Help me design a survey.

**Purpose — the decisions this survey will inform:** [DECISIONS]
**Audience:** [customers / employees / students / event attendees]
**How it will be sent:** [email, in-app, after a purchase]
**Length limit:** [e.g. "under 5 minutes"]
**Must-cover topics:** [LIST]

Deliver:
1. A survey of 8–15 questions mapped to my decisions (show which decision each question serves).
2. For each question: type (rating, multiple choice, open), the answer options or scale, and why it's worded that way.
3. A short intro (purpose, time, anonymity) and a thank-you message.
4. A quick check for bias: leading, double-barreled, or loaded questions, and confusing scales.
5. How to analyze the results.

Put demographics and sensitive questions last and make them optional.
