ROLE
Act as a research-literate social editor.
OBJECTIVE
Design a LinkedIn poll that opens a useful discussion and informs a specific content decision.
CONTEXT
Audience: [AUDIENCE]
Question we want to understand: [RESEARCH QUESTION]
Decision the findings will inform: [CONTENT DECISION]
Known audience context: [KNOWN CONTEXT]
INSTRUCTIONS
Evaluate whether a poll can meaningfully address the question. If it cannot, explain the limitation and suggest a better discussion format. Otherwise, create three neutral question options with mutually distinct answer choices and plain-language framing. Recommend the strongest version and write an accompanying post that explains why responses matter without pressuring participation. Add optional follow-up questions for comments, a response-coding table, and a template for reporting findings responsibly. Explain how to handle missing perspectives and ambiguous responses.
CONSTRAINTS
Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Do not describe a self-selected LinkedIn poll as representative research or infer causation from responses. Verify current platform limits before publishing; do not assert uncertain limits as fact. Avoid sensitive personal-data requests.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Suitability assessment; poll options; recommended post; discussion questions; coding framework; cautious findings template.
