Ask the team. Read the answer in one number.
A short yes/no survey you build in minutes and the team answers in two. Results read as a percent positive, section by section, with the change since last time.
- Six templates, or write your own
- Anonymous when you say so
- Change since last run
The results page: one score, a line per section, the change since last run.
Build it, share it, read it
A Gauge is a handful of yes/no questions in a few sections, with a comment box per section. Nothing to design and nothing to train people on.
- Build
Start from a template or a blank page. Add sections and yes/no questions. Mark which answer is the good one, so "Do you feel close to burning out?" scores the right way. It saves as you type.
- Share
Open it now or on a date. Members get the link by email, and reminders go out on their own. People answer one section at a time, in about two minutes, and can come back to finish.
- Read
Percent positive per question and per section, one score for the whole Gauge, and the comments under each section. Publish the scores to the team with one switch.
Six ready to send
Each one comes with its questions written, the good answers marked, and a comment box per section. Use it as it is, or change anything.

You choose how anonymous each Gauge is, and everyone sees that choice before the first question. Whichever you pick, it is the same words on the invitation, on the answer screen, and on the results.
- Anonymous. Answers and comments are not tied to a name. You see percentages once five people have answered, never who said what.
- Anonymous comments. You see each person's yes/no answers by name. Anything written in a comment box is anonymous.
- Not anonymous. Answers and comments by name, from the first response. For the times a team wants it on the record.
Workload
The answer screen, one section at a time.
Run it again and see what moved
The change is the story, not the level. The same questions run again line up run over run, so every number on the results page carries its change since last time.
Repeat on a schedule
Monthly or quarterly. It opens itself, reminds people, and closes itself.
Trend across runs
The score for every run on one line, and the change on every section and question.
Participation, not surveillance
"14 of 22 responded." A count and a reminder button. Never a list of who hasn't.
Publish to the team
One switch shows the scores to everyone who answered. Comments stay with admins.
One extra question
Add the 0 to 10 "would you recommend working here" question at the end, reported on its own.
Export
Download the results as a spreadsheet for the leadership deck.
Part of Teams
Gauge runs inside a team. Free teams can try it. Teams Pro and Companies get all of it.
One Gauge at a time, from a template, run once. Enough to feel it.
As many Gauges as you like, your own questions, repeat runs, trends, reminders, the recommend question, and export.
All of Pro, plus Gauges anyone with the link can answer, with no account. See pricing
Heartbeat notices. Gauge asks. Actions fixes.
When Heartbeat shows a category sliding, run a Gauge on it to find out why. When a question comes back red, make it a team goal.
A couple of anonymous questions a week. A score by category that moves before the problem does.
