Assessment authoring

Every ReadyLink survey is powered by an assessment question configuration. Audity ships a 25-question default set that drives the AI Readiness Score, but you can edit it, add your own questions, or replace it entirely. To open the editor, go to Dashboard → Lead Generation → Assessment Questions (labeled “Templates” or “Questions” on some plans).

​

Choosing how to start

When you open the editor, you can start from:

• Audity Default, the standard 25-question AI readiness set, unmodified.
• Industry Template, a pre-built question set for a specific industry, browsable from the Industry Library.
• Build Your Own, a blank assessment. Audity’s default questions are not included, you choose every question and what sets the readiness score.

Switching modes when you already have active questions backs up your current question set as a template first, so you can restore it later, before applying the destructive change.

​

Question management

• Active question cap: 40 questions (default and custom combined) by default, per assessment. This can be lowered per assessment down to 1.
• Add: Add a question one at a time (multiple choice, multi-select, scale, short text, or long text), or import a batch from a spreadsheet (see below).
• Edit: Change a question’s text, type, answer options, or scoring weight at any time.
• Hide or remove: Turn off a question so it stops appearing to respondents (their existing answers are preserved), or permanently remove a custom question.
• Reorder: Drag and drop questions to change the order respondents see them in.

Ten default questions (business context, AI familiarity, decision makers, budget, consultant preference, and project timeline) drive the core scoring engine and can never be turned off or removed. Every assessment must always keep at least one active, scored question, Audity blocks any edit that would leave the assessment with none, so a readiness score can always be calculated.

​

Importing questions from a spreadsheet (CSV import)

The CSV import wizard walks through:

1. Upload, select your CSV file (max 5 MB, 1,000 data rows).
2. Column mapping, map your spreadsheet’s columns to Audity’s question fields (question text, type, category, options, and so on).
3. Value mapping, if you mapped a question-type column, map its values to Audity’s supported types.
4. Preview, review the questions that will be created before anything is written.
5. Import, the questions are added to your assessment.

Supported question types: multiple_choice, multi_select, scale, text, textarea. Choice questions take up to 20 semicolon-separated options; scale questions need min and max labels. Per-option scores and a scoring weight are optional, each is a number between 0.0 and 1.0.

​

Scoring validation gate

If you’re importing into a Build Your Own assessment that doesn’t already have an active scored question, Audity shows an extra step, “Which question sets the score?”, before finishing the import. You pick which imported question or questions carry a scoring weight; text and long-text rows can’t be selected. If your file has no scoreable question (multiple choice, multi-select, or scale) and the assessment has no existing scored question, the import is blocked before anything is written.

​

Freeing up room

If importing would push the assessment over its active-question cap, Audity walks you through freeing capacity first, turning off optional default questions or removing custom ones, before the import completes. The core scoring questions described above can never be freed this way.

​

Replacing the defaults

If you’re importing into an Audity Default assessment, you can choose to replace the default questions entirely with your imported set. This option only appears once your import includes at least one scored question.
