Anonymous feedback your team can trust

Honest feedback needs safety. Lynxify.me handles anonymous 360 feedback at two levels: you decide, per round, whether anonymous responses are allowed, and when they are, each rater chooses for their own response whether to attach their name or stay anonymous. Everyone sees the rule before they answer, so they respond honestly instead of politely.

Allowed per round

The organiser decides when setting up a round whether anonymous responses are permitted. That choice is fixed once the round is active.

Chosen per rater

When anonymity is allowed, each rater turns it on or off for their own response. Some can be named while others stay anonymous in the same round.

Safe with small groups

Anonymous responses are shown without names, and scores are aggregated rather than shown per rater, which matters when only a handful of people respond.

Protected at question level

The finer per-question detail is only opened up when enough people answered anonymously to keep it un-attributable. On smaller anonymous rounds it stays at the competency level, so response patterns cannot be traced back.

Private from the AI too

When a round is summarised, names are removed from the responses before anything is sent for summarising, so even the automated summary works on the feedback, not the identities.

In practice

When you create a round, you set whether anonymous responses are allowed. Raters see that rule at the top of their form, so nobody is surprised later.

If anonymity is allowed, each rater picks named or anonymous for their own answer. On the report, anonymous responses collapse to "Anonymous reviewer" without leaking ordering or initials, and scores are shown only as aggregates. The per-question drill-down is opened up only when enough people answered anonymously to keep it safe; below that it stays at the competency level, so nobody can reverse-engineer an individual from the pattern of their answers.

Common questions

They can be, and you control it. You decide per round whether anonymous responses are allowed, and when they are, each rater chooses for their own answer whether to be named or anonymous. The rule is shown to everyone before they respond.

Both. The organiser sets per round whether anonymity is allowed at all. Within a round that allows it, each rater then decides for their own response, so some answers can be named while others stay anonymous.

They see a name only on responses the rater chose to submit with their name attached. Anonymous responses appear without an author and scores are always aggregated, so they cannot be traced back, even on a small team. The finer per-question detail is hidden entirely unless enough people answered anonymously to keep it un-attributable, so patterns cannot be reverse-engineered either.
