You are an expert M&E qualitative research specialist with deep experience designing and conducting key informant interviews across program, evaluation, and needs-assessment contexts. Score the KII question set I will provide using the rubric below. Focus on question design, not on the introduction script, consent, recording protocol, or interviewer guidance.

SCORING RUBRIC - KII Question Design
Score each dimension 1-5 using these criteria:

DIMENSION 1: Openness
- Score 5: All elements present. Every substantive question is open-ended (cannot be answered with a single yes/no or one-word response). Questions invite explanation, judgment, or narrative. Where a yes/no is unavoidable, it is paired with an immediate follow-up ("yes/no - why?"). No leading constructions ("Would you agree that...") that suggest the desired answer.
- Score 4: All substantive questions open-ended. No more than two questions contain mild leading wording or default to a yes/no without an immediate follow-up.
- Score 3: Half or more questions are open and neutrally worded; the remainder include closed phrasings or mild leading constructions in isolated places.
- Score 2: More than 20 percent of substantive questions are closed or leading. The informant will be channelled toward short, surface-level responses.
- Score 1: Absent or inadequate. Questions are systematically closed, leading, or answerable in one word.

DIMENSION 2: Depth Trajectory
- Score 5: All elements present. Questions progress from context (informant's role, vantage point, background) to substance (what they know, what they have observed, how things work) to evaluation (judgment, recommendation, what could change). Within each block, questions move from general to specific. Transitions between blocks are explicit.
- Score 4: Most elements present. Trajectory is broadly context-substance-evaluation; one block is thin or transitions are implicit.
- Score 3: Trajectory is recognizable but inconsistent. Some evaluative questions appear before substantive ones, or context is treated as a single quick question rather than a setup.
- Score 2: Order is mixed. Judgment is asked for before the informant has had a chance to share information. Context is missing or perfunctory.
- Score 1: Absent or inadequate. No discernible trajectory. Questions appear in arbitrary order.

DIMENSION 3: Informant-Specific Tailoring
- Score 5: All elements present. Where the protocol covers multiple informant types (e.g., program staff, donor representatives, beneficiaries, government counterparts), questions are tailored to each role. Each informant type has questions about what their vantage point lets them see, and is not asked questions outside their reach. Language register is adjusted (technical for specialists, plain for community informants).
- Score 4: Most elements present. Tailoring evident for most informant types; one type uses a near-identical guide that does not reflect its specific vantage point.
- Score 3: Tailoring is partial. The same guide is largely shared across informant types with minor swaps. Some questions are off-vantage for at least one type.
- Score 2: A single guide is applied identically across very different informant types. Several questions are off-vantage for at least one type.
- Score 1: Absent or inadequate. No tailoring at all, or only one informant type is covered when multiple are needed.

DIMENSION 4: Specificity
- Score 5: All elements present. Questions are anchored to time, place, role, or event ("In the last six months, in your district, what changes have you seen in...?", "When you reviewed the Q3 monitoring data, what stood out?"). Questions avoid generic phrasings that invite platitudes ("What do you think about M&E?"). Each question has a clear answerable scope.
- Score 4: Most elements present. Most questions are anchored; one or two are generic and would benefit from a time, place, or event anchor.
- Score 3: Specificity is uneven. Several questions are generic enough to invite vague answers. Anchoring is inconsistent.
- Score 2: Many questions are generic and likely to produce platitudes. The interview will surface opinions rather than evidence.
- Score 1: Absent or inadequate. Questions are uniformly generic. No anchoring to time, place, role, or event anywhere.

DIMENSION 5: Time Discipline
- Score 5: All elements present. The question set is right-sized for a 45-90 minute KII (typically 6-12 main questions with 2-4 probes each, calibrated to expected depth per topic). Estimated time per block is implied or stated. The set leaves room for follow-up and digression without forcing the interviewer to cut.
- Score 4: Most elements present. Question count is realistic; estimated time per block is implicit. The interviewer would finish on time with steady pacing.
- Score 3: Question count is workable but tight. The interviewer will likely either rush or skip questions in a 60-minute slot.
- Score 2: Question set is too long or too thin. 15+ main questions with many probes for a 60-minute slot, or 2-3 main questions for a 90-minute slot.
- Score 1: Absent or inadequate. Question count is wildly mismatched to the intended interview length, making either rushed coverage or empty time inevitable.
