Day 34: A feedback option should point to a fix.

Day 34 of building MeetDone.

Yesterday I wrote that asking users to pick one reason is easier than asking them to type first.

Today I hit the next layer:

the answer choices themselves matter more than I expected.

If the options are vague, the feedback is vague too.

Stuff like:

- confusing

- bad UX

- not for me

sounds useful.

It usually is not.

Those labels tell me how the user felt.

They do not tell me what to change next.

So I am trying to write answer choices that sound more like the blocked moment.

For example:

- wanted to see the output first

- too much setup

- not ready to trust it yet

These are better because each one suggests a different fix.

- show the output earlier

- shorten the setup

- add more proof

That is the rule I am using now:

every answer choice should point toward a different next move.

If 2 options would lead me to the same fix, the list is probably too generic.

I think this is where a lot of feedback forms quietly fail.

We focus on getting an answer.

We do not focus enough on whether the answer reduces the next product decision.

A good option is not just a label.

It is a small hypothesis about what is blocking the user.

That is one of the things I am trying to get right with MeetDone now:

not just collecting more feedback, but collecting feedback that narrows what to change next.

What is one feedback option you use today that is probably too vague?
