AI sentiment lands in Central Reports — Culture Amp's enterprise tier gets its first cross-org AI layer.

Current state
Culture Amp is shipping in three coordinated areas: AI-assisted reporting (sentiment summaries in Central Surveys, AI Coach now consuming Anytime Feedback), enterprise admin posture (self-service SAML/SSO, scoped HRBP survey roles, per-report PCQ toggles), and goals/performance plumbing (Cascading Goals roll-up). The common thread is making the platform safer to deploy across very large orgs where data segregation and admin self-service matter as much as features.
Where it's heading
The AI surface is moving from individual-manager assist (AI Coach) toward org-wide synthesis (Central AI Comment Summaries with demographic comparisons). Combined with self-service SSO and demographic-scoped roles, this looks like an explicit push to win and retain >5,000-seat customers without leaning on Support. Performance and engagement are being knit together — Anytime Feedback feeding Coach is a small but pointed example.
Prediction
Next likely move is AI sentiment summaries extending from Central Surveys into Engagement and Lifecycle reports, plus more demographic-aware AI guardrails (suppression thresholds, minimum-group sizes). Self-service SSO rollout to existing customers in June is the visible deadline.

    Scoped Surveys (Limited) Role for Onboarding & Exit Surveys

    The Surveys (Limited Permissions) role now supports demographic scoping on Onboarding and Exit surveys, letting HRBPs see only their slice of responses. Direct answer to a long-standing privacy/visibility complaint from large customers.

    Scoped Surveys (Limited) Role for Onboarding & Exit Surveys (Coming Soon)

    Pre-announcement of the scoped HRBP role for lifecycle surveys, duplicating the launch entry posted the same day. Marketing-cadence noise rather than a separate change.

    Introducing Cascading Goals

    Cascading Goals lets a primary goal aggregate progress from supporting goals automatically, removing manual roll-up work. Brings Culture Amp closer to feature parity with OKR-first tools and reinforces goals as a first-class surface alongside engagement.
