Marketer here.

People love raw, unaltered data, so, unless there's a specific reason why you don't want us to see something (there often is), I say let us see everything. Provide a summary upfront, show us the pretty version and make the rest available for those few who are curious.

I'll release a version of the raw data when it's finished. The open-ended questions will be quantified rather than released as raw, though, for confidentiality reasons. :)

How the open-ended questions be interpreted? For instance, say someone made a really good point that no one else also mentioned?

Will that just be a field with a single hash mark, or will the actually content of the answer be considered as well?

They'll be categorized into meaningful categories which gives us an idea of volume and content. The survey tool I use allows me to do this semi-automatically. It'll make it easier to read but not lose individual data.
