The rule of 5

See what Kriqy counts for survey, mood, theme, closure-rate and careers-widget reporting thresholds, and why results may be hidden.

For: Everyone. Applies to results shown to admins and managers

Kriqy shows a result only when its reporting threshold is met. The number is always 5, but what is counted depends on the result. These thresholds apply to results, not to the wording or visibility of individual feedback messages.

A hidden result appears on its own once enough people have taken part.

What the rule does not cover

It covers results. It does not hide individual feedback messages: admins see each message with its department, and managers see their own department’s messages. Leave out details that point to you.

Who sees what

Admins and managers see survey, mood and score results. Managers see mood and survey question results for their own department only. Employees do not see them.

FAQ

Why is a number hidden?

Fewer than 5 people or items contributed. Encourage more people to take part and it appears.

Does 5 mean 5 different people?

For surveys and departments, yes. For mood, it means 5 check-ins on a day, and each person can check in once a day. For themes and the closure rate, it counts feedback items, not people.

Why does a theme say “Not enough activity yet”?

It has fewer than 5 feedback items.
