How to run it
- Keep it anonymous and show results only after each question closes, so nobody follows the crowd.
- Run the same poll every few weeks and compare the PDF reports to see the trend.
- Read the free-text answers out loud — that is where the useful detail is.
Everything can be changed after copying: wording, questions and options, timers and who sees what.
