Individual skill

quality-checks-diagnosis

Use when designing or interpreting survey checks — especially when the user can't tell which check to use. Triggers: "should I add attention checks?" / "how many attention checks?" / "is this a manipulation check?" / "what's the difference between comprehension and attention check?" / "my respondents are failing checks, what do I do?" / "I need to verify my experimental manipulation worked". Three diagnostic instruments get conflated: attention check (is respondent paying attention?), comprehension check (are instructions clear?), manipulation check (did the experimental treatment land?). Different checks have different implications. Excess attention checks bias the sample. Not for: design-time question-wording fixes (use clarity-concreteness); operational flow (use pilot-protocol).
