What are the criteria for a high fan friendly rating

I have been thinking a lot about how to apply pressure on the media companies to be more fan friendly, so I've concocted a plan. We need to compile a survey to send out the content creators and companies that produce the content we love. I will then publish their responses on the site. To calculate each respondents score by:
+1 for every fan friendly answer
0 for every question they refuse to answer or answer so vaguely it is of no use
-1 for every fan hostile answer
