A one-question survey that opens a world

Design a voluntary one-question public survey about [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE]. The answer should take under 15 seconds, avoid collecting names or sensitive data, and reveal a useful range of experiences rather than force a yes/no.

Return the question, response choices or free-text limit, where it could be asked, consent wording, an accessible version and a plan for summarising answers without overclaiming representativeness. Then create three clearly fictional story seeds inspired by possible answers, never presenting those stories as real participant testimony. Include a small-sample warning and a rule for deleting raw responses.

Do not collect children’s data, personal identifiers or private stories without a separate consent process. Make the participant's value clear before asking them to respond.
