Clarification Threads

Dig deeper without
exposing anyone.

When a concern surfaces, you need more context — not a name. Clarification threads let you ask a follow-up to a pool of respondents and have a real two-way conversation, while every participant stays completely anonymous.

Two-way, yet still anonymous

≥ 5

Always a pool, never a person

Every thread goes to a minimum of five respondents. You're talking to a group — never to one identifiable individual.

Identity never travels

Participants are durable, anonymous handles — "Participant A". There's no path from a reply back to an employee record.

AI synthesis on tap

When you'd rather see the gist than every reply, AI summarizes the thread into the themes — without surfacing who said what.

How a thread runs

From a flag to a real conversation

1

Something surfaces

A pattern shows up in the brief, or a comment needs more context.

2

Ask the pool

Send a follow-up question — use the brief's suggestion or write your own.

3

They reply, safely

Participants answer anonymously; you can reply back, still 1:1 and protected.

4

Act on the insight

Turn what you learn into a tracked action and close the loop.

Ask the real question.
Keep everyone safe.
