Did testers notice that their choice mattered, or only say so to be nice?

Ask "did your choice change something?" and almost everybody says yes. This entry adds one trick to the question so the answer means something, and then tells you for each choice whether the consequence is invisible, missing, or really felt.

Why this works

People tend to say yes to a friendly question, so a raw yes rate flatters the story. Slipping in one choice that never existed measures how many say yes out of politeness, and removing that share leaves only what players really felt.

When not to use it

Don't rely on this with only a few testers or when the fake question is easy to spot. Politeness varies by person and setting. If you can, watch what players do after a choice instead of asking.
