Participant 1
- Favorable to big text.
- Wanted information on desirable story length.
- Suggested changing story to explanation.
- Wanted it to be called "your story"
- Wanted warning on how important/needed estimates would be.
- Wanted uneditable boxes.
- Wanted real coal prices on top of page rather than bottom.
- Misunderstanding with prediction check.
Participant 2
- Suggested more difficult quality checking questions. Question One is definitely too easy.
- Suggested the second similarity question is unnecessary.
Participant 3
- Removed voice recording mention from risks.
- Changed "sometimes intuition is right" to "use your intuitiona nd best judgment"
- Suggested changing the 2005 U.S. dollars for inflation, but I disagree.
- Added "You will be asked questions about your story later and it will be referred to as 'Your Story One'."
Faults
- Question checks too easy.
- Boxes should be uneditable.
Corrections
- Changed it to "your story"
- Provided information about story length.
- Made attention checks on a separate page. Made the last one more difficult.
