TWO KINDS OF FAILURE

Questionnaire mismatches and broken behavior.

We check your research intent and investigate the unexpected. Both kinds of failure belong in the same report.

Unexpected survey failures.

  • Error screens
  • Validation loops
  • Repeated pages
  • Dead ends

A survey should never crash, trap someone in validation, loop back endlessly, or leave them without a way forward. Probes look for these problems.

HOW PROBES EXPLORE

Agents operate the survey in a real browser. Every screen they discover gives them more answers to try and more paths to investigate.

STEP 1 OF 4
