Survey template: Ex-Cult Member survey about harassment or stalking

Getting honest, complete feedback from ex-cult members about harassment or stalking can feel overwhelming. We built this conversational AI survey template to make the process easier, faster, and genuinely actionable—give it a try and see the difference yourself. With Specific’s tools, deep-dive feedback feels like a real conversation, not just another bland form.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for ex-cult members

Traditional Harassment or Stalking surveys are tough—response rates are low, data often feels shallow, and it can be hard to know if you’re truly hearing people’s stories. Most mail or phone surveys barely get a 10-20% response rate, which leads to skewed and incomplete results. Online surveys do a little better at 20-30%, but it’s still not great. [1] [2]

Enter conversational surveys powered by AI. Instead of static forms, these use a chat-like conversation—improving survey completion rates by up to 40% over the old-school methods. [3] With AI, each survey adapts in real-time to what the respondent says, digging deeper where it matters, or simplifying when the respondent’s experience is brief.

Why use AI for ex-cult member surveys?

AI brings an expert’s attention to detail, at scale. With a conversational survey template, ex-cult members can share experiences in a way that feels natural—building trust, reducing survey fatigue, and increasing completion. On top of that, AI-generated questions can ask gentle, relevant follow-ups that encourage honest disclosure without feeling invasive.

We designed Specific’s AI survey template experience to be as approachable as possible. For both ex-cult members sharing their stories and researchers seeking the truth, our platform delivers the best-in-class, frictionless feedback—no scripting or technical setup needed, and with thoughtful privacy by default.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Anyone who’s ever reviewed survey responses knows how often people give brief or unclear answers, especially on difficult topics. The magic of Specific’s AI lies in its ability to listen and follow up instantly, much like an expert interviewer would. Instead of letting vague answers slip through, our AI asks for clarification or more detail—saving you time you’d otherwise spend chasing people with emails or calls.

• Ex-cult member: “It got bad sometimes, but I’d rather not get into it.”

• AI follow-up: “I understand how hard it can be to share. Could you share broadly what made it feel unsafe for you?”

• Ex-cult member: “Someone kept contacting me, even after I left.”

• AI follow-up: “Was it mostly calls, messages, or meeting in person? Anything you’d be willing to describe helps us understand the situation.”

When surveys don’t ask follow-ups, responses like these remain shallow, forcing you to guess at the full story. Asking great follow-ups brings out richer context—the actual detail you need to make sense of real experiences.

This dynamic follow-up transforms the interaction into a true conversation. That’s why we call it a conversational survey—it’s all about context and nuance, not just collecting answers.
