Capability Summary	Provides a Scale Question entry inside the Smart Forms editor, where you can open the settings panel, preview the result, and confirm the configuration.	Microsoft Forms supports Likert questions when creating a form or quiz.	Google Forms supports Linear scale and grid-style rating questions for score-based feedback.	Notion Forms supports multiple question types, required fields, and form configuration, but the official help page does not describe a dedicated native scale-question type in the same way.	Acrobat web forms focus on publishable fill-and-sign workflows, with official guidance centered on creating, sharing, and managing web forms.

Overall Conclusion
