For the small player, the simple fact that a Google Forms survey was filled out is not enough to explain behaviors of identity document verification; it lacks human depth.
The distribution of motivations is ignored: what truly drives 75% of travelers to check their papers early, and what are the constraints for the remaining 25% who do it at the last minute?
A survey, even with a good number of responses, does not reveal the pressure of deadlines for hourly workers, nor the complex logistics of a large family.
For example, a parent with three children and passports to renew faces much greater obstacles than a single person without children, and the survey does not capture who bears the burden of this complexity.
