The method
How it works, and why it tells you the truth.
Trueings is built on one idea: people are only honest when they’re certain it’s safe, and you only grow from feedback when it reaches the parts of yourself you can’t see alone. Every part of the method follows from that.
What happens
A conversation, not a form
A neutral AI interviewer talks to each person you choose. It asks a short scored question, then asks for a specific moment: what actually happened, and what effect it had. You approve what gets assessed; the AI decides how to ask it, so questions are never leading and never defend you. You get specific, real-world feedback instead of vague checkbox scores.
Many voices, one honest picture
Every conversation is broken into specific claims, grouped into themes, and counted by how many people said the same thing, never who said what. Disagreement is kept as its own signal, not averaged away. Growth areas are stated plainly and early: the summary is built to resist flattery, so it never skews falsely positive.
Insight becomes a tracked plan
The top actions become an editable plan with target dates you actually track. Because what you measured is saved, a growth area from one round can be measured again in the next, so progress is something you can see, not just something you noted once.

The self-awareness map
The most useful feedback is the part you can’t see yourself.
There are things you know about how you work, and things only the people around you can see. You rate yourself on the same points your reviewers do, and Trueings puts the two side by side: a map of where your view of yourself and the honest outside view agree, and where they don’t.
Recognised strengths
You see them. Others see them too.
Blind spots
Others rate this lower than you do.
Underrated
Others rate this higher than you do.
To work on
The growth areas to focus on next.
Blind spots and underrated strengths are the two areas you could never reach by thinking harder on your own. Bringing them to light, safely, is the entire point.
Why people tell the truth
Confidentiality isn’t a setting. It’s what makes the data honest.
Weaken the protections and people hold back. You’d get polite feedback instead of honest feedback. So confidentiality isn’t a promise we make; it’s built into how Trueings works, enforced automatically before you ever see a result.
In plain terms: nothing is shown below 3 responses. With only one or two people, anonymity breaks down, and someone could work out who said what. At 3 responses you see only broad, high-confidence themes (no quotes, no counts, no details that could identify anyone) behind a one-time acknowledgement. At 4+ you see the full report. Plan to invite 6–10 people so you stay comfortably above the line, not on it.
- You never see raw answers, or who said what. Only the common themes.
- Results stay sealed until enough people respond. Below that, detail is deliberately reduced and you’re told why, to protect the few who spoke.
- A name or quote appears only where that person chose to be named.
- Reviewers are asked to focus on what they actually saw you do, and not to share anything confidential to their employer, their clients, or anyone else. If specifics slip through, the interviewer steers back to behaviour and the name is dropped from what gets stored.
- Raw transcripts are automatically deleted 30 days after your report is built; only the anonymous summary remains. EU region, GDPR by design.
- A required privacy check runs before anything reaches you: a final removal of names, employers, and identifying details, every time.
Yours alone
An independent platform, run by you.
When feedback feeds into a review cycle, everyone knows it, and everyone adjusts: reviewers soften what they say, and you learn to be careful what you ask. That’s nobody’s fault; it’s what stakes do to candour.
Trueings sits outside the stakes. You own the round and choose who to ask; the results are visible to you alone, and nothing here feeds a review, a file, or a decision about you. Because nobody is grading you with it, your reviewers can be honest and you can actually hear it. Independence isn’t a privacy feature. It’s the reason the feedback is real.
What the AI is, and isn’t, allowed to do
Four engines, each on a short leash.
Criteria Designer
Suggests what to assess, based on your role and work. You approve, drop, re-weight, or add a focus.
Never: Never writes or shows you the interview wording.
Interviewer
Runs each conversation: neutral, warm, probing for specifics and impact.
Never: Never leads, never argues your case, never reveals what anyone else said.
Synthesizer
Turns many conversations into themes, each tied back to what people actually said.
Never: No claim without a real quote behind it; no smoothing over disagreement.
Confidentiality Guard
The required final check: enforces the minimum number of respondents, shows less detail when fewer people respond, only names someone if they opted in, and removes identifying details one last time.
Never: Nothing reaches you without passing it.
