TrustLoop vs 15Five

TrustLoop vs 15Five

15Five tracks performance and check-ins. TrustLoop measures the trust underneath — the invisible foundation that determines whether feedback is honest.

How is TrustLoop different from 15Five? TrustLoop measures professional trust through anonymous colleague reflections using the Trust Equation (Credibility, Reliability, Safety, Self-Orientation), while 15Five focuses on performance management. TrustLoop provides continuous, private measurement rather than periodic reviews.

  • Measures trust dynamics, not just performance check-ins
  • Structural anonymity (15Five check-ins are attributed)
  • AI-driven Actions based on aggregated colleague reflections

Privacy & governance

No names. No ranking. No attribution.

TrustLoop is designed so it cannot be used for surveillance — it is structurally incapable of exposing who said what.

No names. No ranking.

No one can link a score back to an individual.

Aggregated, not attributed.

Signals appear only after combining multiple colleague perspectives.

Patterns, not people.

The system is built to prevent monitoring or employee ranking.

Built-in privacy constraint

Built to be incapable of identifying individuals.

This is not a policy — it is an architectural constraint. TrustLoop cannot surface who said what, even if asked.
