A welcome message from the Socialtrait moderator.
Two AI-suggested starter questions to help you begin.
You can use the suggested questions or write your own. If you add a custom question, the Socialtrait moderator will check whether it matches your research objective. If it might take the discussion off track, you will see a warning, but you can still continue if you believe it is relevant.
9. Insights will update in real time as the discussion moves forward.
After finalizing your Self-Managed FGD, go to the Insights tab to download or print the report.
