Thanks for doing this. I think the survey is pretty valuable and would definitely like to see more people involved to make it happen. If money turned out to be an obstacle* I’d be willing to pay for crowdfunding stuff to make it happen.
(* I don’t actually think money will turn out to easily translate into ability-to-do-it, for reasons )
My tentative thought/vote is “make it easier to take parts of the survey and auto-save as you go”.
Also I forgot to acknowledge your incredibly generous offer of money.
The good news for your bank account is that money is not a bottleneck, the kind of work that needs to be done is simply not on the table for the amount of money we could conceivably raise to try and have it done.
I used to be a really big fan of EY’s The Unit Of Caring essay (and still am), but I’ve since come to understand that it’s seemingly bullettight reasoning does in fact have some leaky holes. One of which is that the amounts of stuff people are willing to give you as gifts in kind through free professional contributions and the like simply dwarfs the available funds that might be donated for the vast majority of small causes. For example, employing the services of Said Achmiz would normally cost a staggering amount of money, but as a ‘loyal troop’ he’s willing to put in organic effort on the project that I’d be hard pressed to pay for at any amount.
Oh, I was referring to this which had sounded like an actionable plan you were considering:
Right now I’m exploring the possibility of setting up a site similar to yourmorals so that the survey can be effectively broken up and hosted in a way where users can sign in and take different portions of it at their leisure. Further gamification could be added to help make it a little more fun for people. Which leads into...

That is not actionable, unless you have a magic way for me to make that happen.

Ah yes, that very much is and both things (easy-to-take-parts and auto-save) are definitely must-have features for that project.
