@ovasileva to split ticket AC1 and AC2 will be ticket 1, AC3 will be ticket 2

@dchen and I thought up a potential low-code solution to this earlier today. I listed it out in T371231:

I just had a great conversation with @dchen about this. Here is the recommendation to get directional data that answers the question: "Is the empty state of Search an effective location to show recommendations?"

We handpick a series of articles and launch a survey of some kind on those articles. We could also do all articles, or a subset based on some logic. Maybe trending articles?
In the survey, we show mockups of 3-5 different places where we could show recommendations on those pages. The mockups don't even have to show the content of the recommendations themselves. We could redact them somehow or use placeholder text.
We ask participants either to pick their top preference, or their top 2, or however many. We could also ask them to rank the different locations:

1. Empty state of search
2. Footer like in Minerva
3. Appended to an infobox
4. Sidebar like where the appearance menu is
5. Maybe in the hatnote location above the introduction paragraph
6. And we can think up a few more.

Nice to have would be for the order of the locations to be randomized for each participant to avoid cognitive bias.

This would give us a sense of the stated reader preference for different locations. It won't give us what they would actually do in a real reading session, or whether they would click on recommendations at all. But if we are going to show recommendations somewhere, it could give us the location that would have the highest yield.

The following is a table of possible delivery channels for an experiment

Can we view quick survey results without logging in and/or agreeing to T&Cs of some kind?

@JScherer-WMF from the documentation it looks like QuickSurvey results are sent to eventLogging analytics platform, so accessing the results does require special permissions (generally limited to WMF staff) and might require help from analytics, but the aggregate results are usually made public in a report of some kind.
