   Tip

   Although we offer the flexibility to set your confidentiality threshold to 3 or 4 respondents, we highly recommend sticking to what we call the "Rule of 5." This recommended policy prevents engagement results from being displayed for groups with fewer than five (5) survey respondents and is specifically engineered to protect respondent anonymity while also providing precise, actionable insights from your engagement surveys.
