Progressive Precision
An assessment approach that starts with broad, low-friction questions and gradually increases specificity as trust, clarity, and context build.
What This Really Means
Progressive precision reduces overwhelm and improves accuracy by letting users begin with simple signals, then drilling down only where it matters.
It is especially useful across cultures and languages, where people may need more time to interpret terms or feel safe answering sensitive topics.
The method often pairs with interpretive depth to explain why follow-up questions are being asked.
Examples
Starting with a short onboarding survey, then offering optional deep-dive modules
Asking follow-up questions only when a dimension score is ambiguous
Using gentle language first, then more specific examples as the user opts in.
