The Anonymity Coach is a wizard panel, not a separate product. It appears on Demographics and Review when your question set may weaken small-group privacy.
InviziPoll surfaces the Anonymity Coach while you build a poll so you can catch anonymity risks before publish. It never blocks publish on its own; it explains what locked cohorts or word clouds mean so you can adjust wording or dimensions deliberately.
Where it appears
Demographics step: when you tag two or more demographic dimensions on questions.
Review step: repeats the same guidance before you publish.
AI flows: generate, refine, and improve runs the same rules so AI-suggested questions get the same warnings.
Word cloud advisory
If the poll includes a word cloud question, the coach reminds you that answers appear as respondents write them. Privacy still depends on audience size: poll-wide charts unlock after 3+ responses, and filtered cohorts need 5+ matching answers. For very small polls or sensitive topics, a multiple-choice question may be safer.
Respondents also see a short privacy tip on the word cloud card asking them to keep answers short and non-identifying.
Demographic dimension warnings
With two tagged demographic dimensions, the coach notes that cohort combinations with fewer than five matching responses stay hidden in reports.
With three or more dimensions, the coach estimates how many cohort combinations your tags could create and warns that many slices may stay locked. You can return to Demographics to remove a dimension you do not need.
What this buys you
You learn why a chart is locked before respondents answer, not after you are surprised by empty filters in results.
