How to adapt it

Replace the placeholder offer and audience with a concrete scenario. Recruit beyond the team's existing fans, record sampling method, and avoid leading benefit claims. Test price separately with a suitable design; one willingness-to-try answer is not demand.

When to ask

Run before committing to a launch, then validate with real behavior or a pilot.

How to interpret responses

Compare current behavior with claimed interest and list the reasons people would decline. Show the sample source and base size alongside every result. Do not multiply a survey percentage by a national population to claim a reliable market estimate.

Research context

An Emerald study used an online survey of 306 people to examine factors associated with intention to adopt mobile payment in a pandemic setting. Its construct-specific results illustrate why usefulness and perceived risk can matter, but they cannot supply a market-size estimate for an unrelated offer. The Journal of Systems and Information Technology mobile payment study HTML page provides the scholarly abstract. This original template is not a scientifically validated instrument.
