How do you guarantee anonymity on a 14-person team?

Typeform doesn't capture names or IPs. The analysis layer aggregates open-ends into themes, never quotes individuals verbatim. For teams under 10, she suppresses any sub-segment with fewer than 4 responses. If you ask 'who said X' she won't tell you — that's the whole point.

What if response rate is below 50%?

She flags it as a signal. Low response rate usually means the team doesn't trust the survey will lead to action. The fix isn't more nudges — it's a public commitment from you to act on at least 1 finding within 30 days, then doing it. Re-running 3 months later typically jumps response to 80%+.

Can I add custom questions?

Yes — tell her 'add 2 questions about our return-to-office policy' and she'll insert them while keeping the core 4 dimensions intact. She'll warn you if questions are double-barreled, leading, or compromising anonymity.

What about benchmarks — what's a good score?

She compares to public benchmarks (Lattice, Culture Amp, Officevibe published averages) for startups your size. Generally: clarity 4.2+, growth 4.0+, trust 4.3+, meaning 4.5+ are healthy. Anything below 3.5 in any dimension gets flagged as a risk requiring action this quarter.

Ask Tycoon Agent: Run a team satisfaction survey

You'd think this needs Lattice or Culture Amp and a $4K/yr seat — Tycoon Agent runs the whole pulse in 5 days for free using tools you already have.

The short answer

Tycoon Agent runs a team satisfaction survey end-to-end in 5 days. Day 1: she designs a 12-question pulse covering the 4 dimensions that actually predict retention — clarity (do you know what's expected), growth (am I learning), trust (can I disagree with my manager), and meaning (does my work matter). Day 2: deployed via Typeform with anonymous responses, sent through a Slack DM with a personalized intro from you. Day 3-4: nudges to non-responders (no names, just count). Day 5: she analyzes the results — quantitative scores per dimension, qualitative theme extraction from open-ends using sentiment clustering, comparison to industry benchmarks. You get a one-page Notion doc with the top 3 strengths, top 3 risks, and 3 concrete actions to take in the next 30 days. Anonymous, fast, actually actionable.

TypeformSlack
Nudge non-responders
Day 3 and day 4 reminders in Slack — no names, just response count. Target 80%+ response rate, which most teams hit by day 5.
Analyze with theme clustering
Quantitative scores per dimension + benchmark comparison. Open-ends clustered by theme with sentiment scores. No individual quotes attributed, no cross-referencing that could deanonymize.
Typeform
Deliver action plan
One-page Notion doc: top 3 strengths, top 3 risks, 3 concrete 30-day actions with owners and dates. Optional: anonymized share-back deck for the team.

What it looks like in chat

YouWe're 14 people now and I have no idea how the team actually feels. Help me run a survey.

Tycoon Agent5-day plan, kicking off whenever you're ready: **Day 1 (today):** I'll draft 12 questions across clarity, growth, trust, meaning. You review in chat, takes 10 min. **Day 2:** I deploy via Typeform (anonymous, no IP logging) and send Slack DMs from your account. Want me to draft the intro? Best ones say 'I want honest signal, not nice answers — here's what I'll do with it.' **Day 3-4:** Reminder DMs to non-responders. We should hit 80%+ by Friday. **Day 5:** Notion doc lands with quantitative scores, themed open-ends, top 3 risks, and 3 concrete actions. One thing I need from you: are you willing to publicly commit to acting on at least 1 finding within 30 days? That single line in the intro is what gets response rates from 60% to 90%. Yes or no, then I'll start drafting questions.

What you get back

Anonymous 12-question survey with 80%+ response rate, themed analysis, and a 1-page Notion action plan with 3 concrete 30-day commitments.

Cadence: 5-day end-to-end. Recommend re-running quarterly to track movement.
