Review Cycle Analytics

Review Cycle Analytics lets admins download completed review cycle data as a ZIP file. Use it after a 360 review cycle closes to analyze participation, ratings, written feedback, questions, and peer review signals in a spreadsheet, BI tool, or approved AI tool.

In the product, the export button is labeled Export analysis pack.

When Review Cycle Analytics is available

Review Cycle Analytics is available only for completed review cycles.

If a review cycle is still active, scheduled, or in draft, the export is not available. Completed cycles are locked, so the export reflects the final performance review and peer review data for that cycle.

User type	Can export?	Notes
Admin	Yes	Only after the review cycle is completed
Manager	No	Managers may see some review data, but cannot export the full analysis pack
Employee	No	Employees cannot export review cycle analysis packs

Where to download the analysis pack

Open a completed review cycle in FeedbackPulse.

If you are an admin and the cycle is completed, click Export analysis pack near the top of the review cycle details page. FeedbackPulse downloads a ZIP file named from the review cycle name and export date.

What is included in the ZIP file

The ZIP file includes five CSV files and one Markdown guide.

File	What it contains	Use it for
cycle_context.csv	Review cycle name, status, dates, generated time, and included modules	Confirm which cycle and review types are in the export
summary.csv	Completion counts, incomplete counts, completion rates, department summaries, and rating response counts	Start with high-level cycle health
performance_answers.csv	Self-review and manager-review answer rows	Compare employee and manager perspectives
peer_answers.csv	Peer review answer rows	Review peer feedback while respecting anonymity rules
questions.csv	Question text, type, order, audience, and options	Understand what each answer refers to
ai_analysis_guide.md	Plain-language notes and suggested analysis prompts	Guide spreadsheet, BI, or AI-assisted review

How anonymous peer review data is handled

Anonymous peer reviewer identity is not included in anonymous peer rows.

For anonymous peer reviews:

• reviewer ID is blank
• reviewer name is blank
• reviewer email is blank
• reviewer display shows Anonymous reviewer
• the row is marked with reviewer_visibility=anonymous

Anonymous written feedback and ratings may still appear in the export, but they are not tied to the reviewer’s identity. Named peer reviews can include reviewer name, email, and ID.

How to use the analysis pack

Start with the files in this order.

1. Open cycle_context.csv to confirm the cycle name, dates, and included modules.
2. Open summary.csv to review completion rates and department-level gaps.
3. Use performance_answers.csv to compare self-review and manager-review responses.
4. Use peer_answers.csv to analyze peer feedback while preserving anonymity rules.
5. Use questions.csv to connect each answer row back to the question text.
6. Read ai_analysis_guide.md before using an approved AI tool for analysis prompts.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Is this the same as the in-app Analytics dashboard?
A: No. The Analytics dashboard shows in-product reports and trends. Review Cycle Analytics exports completed cycle data for deeper analysis outside FeedbackPulse.

Q: Can managers export the analysis pack for their own team?
A: No. The export is admin-only because it can include raw review data across performance and peer review workstreams.

Q: Can I export an active review cycle?
A: No. The export is available only after the review cycle is completed.
