Most training surveys only measure Level 1 — did people enjoy it. Here is how to map every question to Kirkpatrick's four levels, flag what you don't cover, and fill the gaps with Sopact Sense.
In short: Most training surveys only measure Level 1 — did people enjoy it — and stop there. Point the Sopact Sense Assistant at your survey, tag each question to a Kirkpatrick level (L1–L4) or 'none', flag the levels you don't cover, and get one proposed question per gap. You learn in minutes whether your survey measures learning or only satisfaction.
Tell the Assistant which dataset it is working over and load your Decision Brief first, so the map ties back to the decision, audience, outcomes, indicators, and evidence standard you already set.
You are the Sopact Sense Assistant working over the DEMO-10 · Training / Kirkpatrick dataset (clean data + persistent contact IDs). Load my Decision Brief (decision, audience, outcomes, indicators, evidence standard) first, then wait for my task.
Tag each question in [SURVEY] with the Kirkpatrick level (L1-L4) or 'none'; flag uncovered levels; propose one question per gap. Grade green/amber/red.
The prompt carries five elements. Dataset: the survey under audit. Map to L1–L4: tag every question to a Kirkpatrick level or 'none'. Flag uncovered: name the levels with no question. Propose gap-fillers: one new question per missing level. Grade: a green / amber / red call on coverage.
Run on the Training / Kirkpatrick dataset (DEMO-10) already loaded in Sopact Sense.
GRADE: green | L1/L2 | covered · amber | L3 | self-report · red | L4 | not tracked
The Assistant maps each question and grades coverage. Green is Levels 1 and 2 covered — reaction and learning are measured. Amber is Level 3 resting on self-report rather than observed behaviour. Red is Level 4: no business-result question exists at all.
Take the lowest-graded element and fix it with something the program could realistically measure.
Take the Level 4 gap above and fix it: add one indicator tying the training to a result the program already records. Show the before → after grade and the single edit that moves it to green.
Create a 'missing & incomplete' report from this analysis in Sopact branding. List every element graded amber or red, what is missing, and the one input that fixes each. Lead with the decision this report informs.

Expect Level 1 to be over-covered. Most surveys are heavy on reaction questions. The value of the map is what it reveals is missing — Levels 3 and 4 — not the Level 1 questions you already have.
Treat self-report behaviour as amber. Asking "do you use this on the job?" is Level 3 in name only. Grade it amber and aim for a manager or on-the-job check so the behaviour is observed, not claimed.
Tie Level 4 to data you already keep. You rarely need a new system for results. Map the training to an outcome the program already records so Level 4 becomes one indicator, not a new survey.
Re-audit when the survey changes. One added question can shift coverage.
Re-run this map whenever you edit the survey so a new question doesn't quietly leave a level uncovered.
Tag each survey question to a Kirkpatrick level — Reaction (L1), Learning (L2), Behavior (L3), or Results (L4) — or mark it 'none', then flag the levels with no coverage and propose one question to fill each gap. The Sopact Sense Assistant does this in one pass and grades coverage green, amber, or red, so you can see whether the survey measures learning or only satisfaction.
Reaction questions are the easiest to write and collect, so surveys fill up with them. Levels 3 and 4 require observing behaviour change and tying training to results, which take more design — which is exactly what the map surfaces as missing.
Level 4, Results. Add one indicator that ties the training to a business result the program already records. It turns the red coverage gap green without standing up a whole new measurement system.
Open Sopact Sense, paste your program description, and put it to work.
