How would you explain the current state of your restaurant? *
Use a scale of 1 (doing very poorly) to 5 (doing very well).
did your restaurant overcome these adversities with any creative solutions?
This is basically an y/n question. Add: ...if so, how?
When the pandemic was first announced, how did your business adjust to the quarantining and social distancing protocols?
I think a question about the various challenges during the pandemic may have a place in the survey.
Since the form asked for personal/business info, I'd encourage you to make this survey anonymous. You will probably get more responses that way. The purpose of the survey is to get the bigger picture, whereas individual experiences can come from interviews.
got behind on its taxes in part because it spent $5 million on specialized farming equipment in March 2020 and has not been able to use it.
This is why the question is something that the data cannot provide an answer to.
“Essentially, they’re benefiting from taxpayer money without contributing to the system,”
The first expert chimed in to offer an opinion on the data analysis.
Nanda confirmed that both entities are operated by the same ownership.
Again, this is an example of data interviewing the subject for more stories.
This $1.2 million gap between owed taxes and payment is the largest gap identified by the analysis.
Now we know why the reporter picked the farm for the interview.
Without that we wouldn’t have been able to survive,

that affected 33 workers, according to data from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
The the story of a data point
Mushrooms went to waste because there was not enough demand to keep up with what was produced, Nanda said.
A human story. Why not using it in the beginning?
9Wants to Know conducted this analysis by merging PPP and Department of Revenue data. A reporter searched for the same names in both datasets with programming software.
Multiple data sources and cross-referencing
businesses don’t need to worry about paying back $8.4 billion they received through PPP.
What it actually means to people/organizations
analysis of SBA data shows 56% of the $15.1 billion distributed to Colorado companies has been forgiven.

This is a leading question, even though it may be true to most people. Try: How did the pandemic impact the time spent on social media. Many respondents may have quantify their pre-pandemic social media time and give you an accurate comparison. I'd suggest offering the options like. A. It considerably shortened my social media time. B. It slightly shortened...C. There is little impact, D. It slightly increased...E. It considerably increased...
How much time do you spend on social media
People tend to underestimate their social media time when asked to estimate a daily average. Another issue with the question is that no time period was given.
