Getting started

Read your first dashboard

A tour of the numbers, charts, and AI briefing you'll see once surveys return.

Once you have 5+ responses for the current period, the dashboard starts showing numbers. Before that, you'll see friendly empty states explaining what to expect.

The three headline cards

Vibe score
A 0–100 composite of mood, energy, stress, and sleep for the selected period. Useful as a single trend line over time.
Response rate
How many invited teammates answered. Under 50% is a signal to revisit cadence or channels, not to assume disengagement.
Participation streak
How many consecutive periods the team has hit your response-rate goal. Motivational more than diagnostic.

Trend vs. this period

Every metric has two views. The default view shows the current period's number with a delta vs. the previous comparable period. Click the card to switch to a 12-period trend line — useful to spot whether you're looking at noise or a real shift.

Breakdowns

  • Department — the team leaderboard. Colour-coded, not ranked, to discourage treating wellbeing as a competition.
  • Tenure — how newcomers feel vs. the rest of the company. Often the first signal of onboarding gaps.
  • Survey question — each question's distribution. Helpful when the aggregate number is flat but answers are polarised.

The AI briefing

At the top right you'll see the weekly AI briefing — a plain-language summary of what changed, what's worth investigating, and what seems stable. It only uses aggregated numbers; no individual responses are passed to the model.

Five-response minimum

Any cell with fewer than 5 responses is blanked out. This keeps the smallest teams anonymous even when you drill into departments or tenure bands.
