How confidentiality is protected
Your answers are unattributed
Responses are separated from your name before anyone reviews them. Facilitators see participation status only, never who said what.
Reported in groups, never individually
Findings are shared only where a group has enough respondents to protect anonymity. Small groups are combined or withheld.
About 20 to 25 minutes
Four short sections. Your work saves automatically, so you can step away and return using the same link.
Themes, not quotes
Written comments are synthesized into themes. Identifying details are removed before anything reaches the board.
