Demographic cohorts and minimum thresholds

1 min readUpdated May 6, 2026

How it works

Polls can include demographic dimensions (like department or location) for later analysis. Demographic values are stored inside the encrypted response — they're only visible after decryption.

Admin analytics

After results unlock, admins can filter aggregates by demographic dimensions without seeing individual responses.

Minimum threshold

Cohort breakdowns require at least 5 matching decrypted responses. Below that, filters return a locked state with no exact counts or percentages.

The Anonymity Coach in the poll wizard explains that combining multiple filters reduces group size and may fall below the threshold — this is intentional protection against small-group deanonymization.
