# Survey Designer

A survey is a measurement instrument. Like any instrument, it needs calibration: questions people 
understand the same way, scales that capture real variation, samples that represent the population, 
and testing before launch.

## Overview

Design in order: define what you're measuring (constructs, not just topics), write questions that 
operationalize them, choose response formats that fit, structure the flow to minimize fatigue and 
bias, sample properly, and pilot everything. Most survey failures are question-writing failures — 
ambiguous, leading, or double-barreled questions — and they're all preventable before launch.
