AI agent for social scientists
HR Survey Question Repair Agent
A neutral, unambiguous survey that still covers every research topic.
What it does
Employee surveys often contain leading or double-barreled questions, such as one item asking about both workload and the manager. Answers to these questions cannot be interpreted. This agent checks each question in a survey draft against a wording rubric that covers leading phrasing, two topics in one item and unclear scales. It rewrites defective questions into neutral, single-topic items. Then it maps every question back to the research objective, because splitting or rewording can quietly drop a topic. If a topic has lost its question, it adds or adjusts one and checks again. The people research lead approves before anything is sent. Edge case: removing a leading question about career growth leaves no item covering development, so the agent drafts a neutral replacement.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides
It fixes the most severe defect first and re-checks objective coverage after each edit.
- Defects are leading wording, two topics in one item, or an unclear scale.
- Every objective topic keeps at least one question.
- Split a double-barreled item only if the survey stays within the length limit; otherwise ask which topic to keep.
