The feedback form assumed the person filling it in had an archive.

It asked how long the task would normally have taken — no answer when there was no previous way of doing it. And whether they trusted it with their data — no answer when there isn't any yet.

Half the people being invited to test would have been answering questions about a situation they were not in.

Changes

  • Opens by asking which situation they were in: starting fresh, inherited archive, or both
  • The timing question is marked skippable
  • "Not applicable — I had no data at risk" is now an answer to the trust question

And one new question

Nothing was asking the thing that matters most from someone starting fresh: does the structure fit how your lab actually works? Your modality, your acquisition software, the way you already think about subjects and sessions.

The form says explicitly that somewhere it doesn't fit is worth more than somewhere it does — a lab convention that disagrees with the standard for a good reason is how the standard improves.

319 tests, unchanged.

The form assumed the person filling it in had an archive. It asked how long
the task would normally have taken, which has no answer when there was no
previous way of doing it, and whether they trusted it with their data, which
has no answer when there is not any yet. Half the people being invited to test
would have been answering questions about a situation they were not in.

It now opens by asking which situation they were in, marks the timing question
skippable, and offers "no data at risk" as an answer to the trust question.

It also asks the question that matters most from someone starting fresh and
which nothing was asking: whether the structure fits how their lab actually
works -- their modality, their acquisition software, the way they already think
about subjects and sessions. Somewhere it does not fit is worth more than
somewhere it does, and the form says so, because a lab convention that
disagrees with the standard for a good reason is how the standard improves.
