Yes
No
3.4 Have you stopped using the LOD Specification document (you used it before, but not anymore)?
Yes
No
If yes, why?
3.5 If you have used the LOD Specification document, have you used it because you saw value in the document?
Yes
No

Yes
No
3.7 Is the LOD Specification document currently used in your contracts to specify model qualities?
Yes, Almost all the time
Yes, Sporadically when needed
No, Never
