14 research-backed survey categories

Dedicated AI Adoption dimension

Async, anonymous, delivered in Slack

Quarterly cadence with 2-week response window

What we measure

14 dimensions of developer experience

Every category is research-backed and tied to outcomes managers actually care about: friction, focus, velocity, and retention. AI Adoption is the dimension most other tools miss.

How surveys work

Built for response rates, not survey fatigue

Async delivery in Slack, sensible defaults, full anonymity. Engineers respond because it takes 90 seconds, not 30 minutes.

Delivered in Slack

Surveys land as DMs from the iftrue app. No new tool to log into, no email to ignore.

Quarterly cadence

Default quarterly schedule with a 2-week response window. Configurable per team.

Fully anonymous

Individual responses are never tied back to identities. Only aggregate scores reach managers.

Likert + free text

1-5 ratings for trends, optional comments for context. Both visible to managers, identity stripped.

From signal to action

Friction you can fix, not just charts

Survey scores are only useful if they trigger a conversation. iftrue surfaces category drops, flags teams below threshold, and turns each low score into a manager action prompt with the relevant context.

Trend over time
Quarter-over-quarter scores per category, per team. Spot regressions before attrition does.
Threshold alerts
Get a Slack alert the moment any category falls below your team's threshold or drops 0.5 in a single quarter.
1:1 talking points
Low scores roll into AI-generated 1:1 prep so managers walk in with the right question, not a dashboard.
