Objective: Given a supplied onboarding quiz draft, apply the lesson's collection-workflow framework to diagnose why completion is low and rewrite the weak points.

You're the CRM analyst at PolicyBazaar reviewing a nine-question insurance-recommendation quiz. Completion sits at 22%, well below the lesson's 61% benchmark.

Audit the supplied quiz draft against the value-exchange and friction-budget rules, then rewrite the sections that are failing.

The process

2 steps

Step 01 of 02

Interactive Onboarding Quizzes

Quizzes should run five to seven questions; the lesson notes every additional step past that cuts completion by roughly 10%.

The supplied quiz has 9 questions before a recommendation appears. Which two are safe to cut or move to progressive profiling instead?

Typeform— Open the quiz build in Typeform, review the question list and drop-off report per question.

Procedure

List all 9 questions in the order they appear
Flag any question whose answer doesn't change which policy gets recommended
Cut or defer flagged questions to a post-quiz follow-up instead of the main flow

Sample output

QUIZ AUDIT (9 questions)
Q4 'What's your annual income bracket?' -> does not change recommendation -> DEFER
Q7 'How did you hear about us?' -> marketing-only, not personalization -> CUT
Remaining: 7 questions, all affect the recommended plan

Healthy

Every remaining question directly changes the output the subscriber sees at the end.

Unhealthy

Questions that exist for internal reporting sit inside the main flow, adding friction without adding personalization.

What this means

A question earns its place in the main flow only if the answer changes what the user gets back.

So what do I do about it?

Symptom	Action	Effort
Completion rate under 30%	Cut every question that doesn't change the recommendation, move it to a later touchpoint	30 min

YouYou can do this yourself, no engineering access required.

Step 02 of 02

Value Exchange

A value exchange means the subscriber gets something immediate and tangible in return, a recommendation, a discount, a custom guide, not just a 'thank you.'

The quiz ends with 'Thanks, our team will contact you.' Does that satisfy the value-exchange requirement?

Typeform— Review the quiz's final results screen and the confirmation email it triggers.

Procedure

Check whether the results screen shows a specific recommendation or a generic thank-you
If generic, rewrite the results screen to show the actual recommended plan and premium range immediately
Confirm the confirmation email repeats the same specific recommendation, not a form-received notice

Sample output

BEFORE: 'Thanks! Our team will contact you within 24 hours.'
AFTER: 'Based on your answers, a family floater plan covering 4 members fits your profile. Estimated premium: ₹9,200/year.'

Healthy

The subscriber sees a specific, personalized output within seconds of finishing, not a promise of future contact.

Unhealthy

A generic thank-you screen, which breaks the value-exchange contract the quiz implicitly made.

What this means

No immediate, specific value at the end means the quiz collected data without paying for it.

So what do I do about it?

Symptom	Action	Effort
High quiz starts but low completion on the final screen	Replace the generic thank-you with the actual computed recommendation	30 min

YouYou can do this yourself, no engineering access required.

Final deliverable

A revised quiz question list (7 or fewer core questions) and a rewritten results screen showing a specific, immediate recommendation.

Sample output

Adyen, Merchant Onboarding Quiz Audit (excerpt)

CUT: 'What's your company size?' (internal reporting only, no output impact)
KEPT: 'What's your primary sales channel?' (changes the recommended payment method mix)
Results screen rewrite: 'Based on your answers, a card-present + online hybrid setup fits your business. Estimated integration time: 3 weeks.'

Success criteria

You're done when you can:

Core quiz questions reduced to 7 or fewer, each justified by its effect on the output
Results screen shows a specific recommendation, not a generic acknowledgment
Deferred questions are moved to a documented progressive-profiling follow-up, not deleted outright
