Questionnaire flow and key metrics definition

• Heatmaps. Respondents click on the areas of the product that they like the most and the least. For each area that they click on, they are asked to enter a comment explaining what they liked or disliked about it. 
• Key takeout. Respondents are asked the following as an open-ended question: "Other than making you more or less interested in the product/service, what is the main thing that this product is trying to tell you?" 
• Overall appeal. This metric measures how much the respondent's overall like or dislike towards the concept is, on an 11 point scale.
• Emotions. Respondents are asked to select which emotions the concept made them feel, and how strongly (low, mid, or high intensity) they were impacted. 
• Brand recall and Linkage. Respondents are asked to type in the brand they think the concept is for. The brand is then revealed, and respondents are encouraged to rate how strongly they think the concept fits the brand.
• Likes and dislikes question. It prompts respondents to type in what they liked and disliked about the concept. 
• Messaging. A list of messages or attributes is configured at setup. On this question, respondents select which of these they associate most closely with the concept they have just seen. This can be used to ensure that the correct benefits of the concept are cutting through to consumers. 
• Key Measures. They consist of the respondent’s rating over the measures of relevancy, uniqueness, believability, and brand feeling (whether or not the concept changed the way they feel about the brand) on an 11 point scale.
• Suggestions for improvement. Respondents type in, any ideas they have on how to improve the concept. 
• Behavioral Change. This question asks how likely respondents are to engage in an activity that is configurable, on an 11 point scale. When configuring, you'll be asked to choose an Action word and a Noun to fill in the question: "Based on everything you've seen, how likely are you to [ACTION] the [NOUN]?" Select the combination that best fits your use case. The most up-to-date list of options will be what you see on the platform, but they include:
