Ask for the intended action

Start with what the person wanted to accomplish: reach a meeting corner, sit on a bench, send a message, or show a screen. A comment that the office feels wrong can express a real problem without identifying its cause. Ask for the task before suggesting a fix. This is a feedback method, not an automatic diagnostic or a guarantee that every report can be resolved immediately.

Record the context without private material

Note whether the experience occurred in the playable demo or a particular workspace, and identify the relevant area or object. Include the input method and approximate screen size when those may matter. Avoid collecting passwords, private messages, or unrelated screen contents. For example, a bench report can show the seat and its surrounding props without exposing the participant's whole browser or account information.

Write expected and observed results

Use a short comparison: approaching the right side should let the character sit, but the character remains standing. Add the smallest sequence that reproduces it, including whether a dialog or editor was open. A screenshot helps with overlap and placement; a brief recording can help with movement. Neither replaces the explanation of what the person attempted and why the result was unexpected.

Separate defects from preferences

An unreachable seat, a misleading status, and a preference for a different garden style require different decisions. Keep them in separate notes even when one person reports them together. For a visual preference, ask what would improve the activity: clearer meeting landmarks, fewer overlapping props, or a calmer arrangement. Avoid converting a taste judgment into a technical diagnosis without checking the actual behavior.

Close the loop with the original task

After an authorized change, repeat the reporter's sequence and compare the result with the original expectation. Ask the reporter to confirm when practical. Record what was fixed and any remaining limitation instead of saying everything is better. If the issue cannot be reproduced, preserve the context and request one missing detail. Good feedback makes the next investigation smaller, clearer, and less dependent on someone remembering the entire conversation.
