Step 01

Open the questionnaire builder

From the admin sidebar choose Questionnaire builder and start a new questionnaire. Give it a clear title and a short introduction that reviewers will read before they begin.

Add sections and questions

Build the questionnaire up in sections, each holding related questions. Every question is scored on two 1–10 scales — importance and actual performance — which is what powers the benchmarked report.

Step 04

Add free-text prompts

Scores tell you what; comments tell you why. Add open prompts at the end of a section so reviewers can add context in their own words.

What is this person’s single greatest strength as a leader?

Step 05

Set report notes and reorder

Add report notes — how to read the scores, how anonymity is protected — which appear on every report from this questionnaire. Drag sections and questions to reorder them at any time.

Reusable. A questionnaire is defined once and used across as many people and periods as you like — so your 360 stays consistent and comparable over time.
