COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - TelAve -- You wrote the question on Tuesday. Now the survey is gone, and you are reading that question again and cannot tell what it says. You can send a survey again. You cannot ask the same people again. An email can be corrected and a link can be fixed, but a question that landed wrong has already been answered wrong — the people who received it have given it the attention they were going to give it.

Candor Surveys, from Golden Hills Software, puts a survey in front of a few trusted readers while it is still a draft. It also tells you how far each of them got. "Reached question 6 of 9" turns out to be its own kind of answer: a tester who stalls in the middle rarely says so, because politeness and the survey both end at "looks good." The number says it for them.

In Pilot mode the survey stays a draft with its own private link. Up to ten people you choose go through it the way the people on your list will, and as they go they can leave a note on any question — not on the survey, on the question that gave them trouble.

The notes come back inside Candor, each one waiting on the question it is about. You open the survey and the note is already sitting where the trouble was. When the test ends the feedback is kept: a survey can go back to draft, be edited, and be tested again.

"You get one honest look from each person on your list, and you spend it the second you hit send," said Chuck Boudreau, founder of Golden Hills Software. "Pilot mode is where you find out what a question actually does to somebody, while you can still change the question."

When the survey does go out, your list reads one that has already had its rehearsal.

Candor is survey software for people who don't do this every day. Every price is on the website — $30 a month, or $300 a year with two months free — and the first survey is free, with unlimited questions and unlimited responses.
