Same Issues. Repeat.

5 Decision Failures
The problems Likert was never built to solve
The Retention Trap
Your 'satisfied' employees keep leaving. You never saw it coming.
The Compression Problem
5-point scales force 'staying' and 'about to leave' into the same box. You can't prevent what you can't distinguish.
The Fix: Variance Expansion
100-point continuous scales reveal the 31% of signal that 5-point scales compress. See exit risk 6 months before resignation.
The Budget Black Hole
Culture spend goes up. Scores stay flat. Nobody knows why.
The 'Everything' Illusion
When 85% of items are rated 'important' or 'very important,' you have no strategy. Just expensive guessing.
The Fix: Forced Prioritization
We don't ask 'Is this important?' We ask 'What matters more?' The result: a mathematically precise roadmap for ROI.
The Boardroom Bluff
84% favorable. Revenue down. Board wants answers you don't have.
Sentiment Decoupling
Mood and performance aren't the same thing. Your surveys measure feelings. Your P&L measures friction. They're not connected.
The Fix: Operational Telemetry
Link people data directly to business outcomes. Stop presenting feelings. Start presenting leading indicators the Board can act on.
The Decision Paralysis
Everyone agrees on everything. Yet decisions take forever and nothing improves.
False Confidence
When everyone agrees, you have consensus—but no clarity. The data gives you confidence without direction.
The Fix: Confidence-Weighted Intelligence
We measure not just opinions, but confidence in those opinions. High-confidence responses are 34x more predictive than guessing.
The Silent Majority
Your loudest voices dominate feedback. Your most valuable insights stay hidden.
Volunteer Bias
Traditional surveys overrepresent the engaged and underrepresent the disengaged. You hear from who wants to talk, not who needs to.
The Fix: Democratic Measurement
Same questions, same format, every voice equally weighted. No more squeaky wheel bias. Complete organizational intelligence.
