The template requires a yes/no answer whereas SFC only allows numerical values, why?

The Survey template is for individual persons/end recipients. However, the Survey in SFC2021 doesn't collect individual surveys, but the aggregated results of a structured survey of the end recipients.

Under Article 23(3) of the ESF+ Regulation (EU) No 2021/1057 Managing Authorities (MAs) shall report twice to the Commission the aggregated results of a structured survey of the end recipients regarding i) the support received from the ESF+ under specific objective 4.1 point (m), ii) their living conditions and iii) the nature of their material deprivation.

So, where the end recipient answers with yes/no, the aggregated results to be encoded in SFC reflects the number of end recipients who answered yes.
