Listen & move forward.

Sona8 replaces your engagement questionnaire with voice interviews on a fixed set of eight drivers. Your scores stay comparable over time, and you learn what sits behind them.

The eight drivers, and what we ask.

The question set is fixed, so your scores stay comparable from one project to the next. Every answer gets follow up questions until there is a concrete example behind it.
