Up and running in
about five minutes
Vigor only has a handful of concepts, and once they click, everything else is obvious. Here's the whole mental model: how you sign in, what a squad is, who can do what, how people join, and — the important one — how anonymity actually works.
Four moves to your first result
You can be looking at real results before your coffee's cold.
Sign in with a magic link
Vigor has no passwords at all — there is nothing to remember, forget or leak. Enter your email and we send you a one-click link plus a 6-character code you can type instead. Your account is created automatically the first time, as a Member.
Create a squad
A squad is your team. Create one, give it a name, and add teammates to the roster by email — or share a join link and let them request in.
Run a check or a Spark
Start a 2-minute Health Check, or fire a live Spark on the big screen. Share the code; people join in seconds, no account needed.
Act on what you find
Close the session to reveal aggregate results, then turn any weak signal into an owned action item — and watch it close before next round.
The words we use, defined
Six terms cover almost everything you'll see in Vigor.
Squad
A team. Health Checks, trends and action items all live inside a squad. You can belong to several at once.
Roster
The squad's member list. Add people by email, send auto-expiring invite links, or approve join requests.
Pulse (Health Check)
The recurring 2-minute check across 11 dimensions, anonymous by default. The heart of Vigor.
Spark & Playlist
A Spark is one live activity; a Playlist is several Sparks sequenced into one host-paced session.
Feedback
The async one: a questionnaire you send out and collect over days. Re-run it as a new cycle to see the trend. Read the guide.
Heatmap
Squads × dimensions in one grid, from each squad's latest closed Pulse. Patterns, never rankings.
Three roles, no confusion
Vigor has formal, role-based permissions. You can even hold different roles in different squads — Host of one, Member of another.
Member
The everyday teammate: votes in checks, joins Sparks, answers Feedbacks, comments on action items, and tracks the squad's trend.
Host
Runs a squad: manages its roster, opens Health Checks, fires Sparks, sends Feedbacks, and drives sessions from the control screen.
Admin
Org-wide oversight: sees every squad on the Heatmap, not just the ones they host, and administers the workspace.
No account? No problem
To take part, nobody needs to sign up. Share a link or a 5-character join code and people are in. The code uses an unambiguous alphabet (no confusing O/0 or I/1) so it reads cleanly off a big screen. Guests can take part in all four surfaces — Health Check, Spark, Playlist and Feedback. What they can't do is create anything; that's what an account is for.
- qr_code_2 Join by link or short code from any phone
- how_to_reg Taking part needs no login; running sessions does
- bolt Guests are de-duplicated so one person counts once
Joining a squad for real works three ways: a host emails you an invitation (good for 48 hours), shares a revocable invite link (good for 7 days, and killable any time), or you send a join request and a host approves it.
How anonymity really works
This is the promise Vigor is built on, so it's worth being precise. Anonymity is on by default, but it is yours to lift, not your host's. A vote row never carries your account: your identity is used for exactly two things, making sure you only vote once and checking you're allowed to see the results. So scores can never be traced to a person — every chart, dashboard, export and heatmap reads them as a tally, by construction.
Randomized with a cryptographic shuffle before anyone reads them, so order gives nothing away.
Totals and trends, never one individual's ratings. This never changes.
Tick “identified” and your name rides with your comment. Do nothing and you stay anonymous.
