Example survey
AI coding assistants: the wait
Demo data: ~120 synthetic responses, nothing saved. How we protect respondents
These responses are generated in your browser from a fixed seed. No real people answered, and nothing here is saved. It’s the same dashboard buyers get, with the same rules: groups under 5 are hidden, and the CSV has pseudonymous ids only.

Filter by audience
Showing all 120 responses
Filters need 10+ matching responses and counts are rounded to 5. How we protect respondents
Filters use audience fields only and run on our server: a filter has to match at least 10 responses, and one that leaves out fewer than 5 people is hidden too (comparing it with all results would show what they said). Counts are rounded to the nearest 5. Responses arrive in groups of 5 so no one can be singled out, with no completion times or per-answer timings. The CSV has every released response with a random id, the day its group arrived, no profile data, and written answers with contact details removed. Answers flagged as too fast are left out of filtered results on our server. Two filters whose responses differ by fewer than 5 people can’t both be shown.
