Appendix
How answers were spread
Each behavior was asked two ways: how often the organization promotes it, and how often
coworkers actually do it, both on the same 1–10 frequency scale (1 = Never, 10 = Always).
The box covers the middle 50% of answers; the heavy line is the median. Narrow boxes
mean broad agreement; wide boxes mean varied experiences worth exploring in the debrief.

Method notes
Ratings use a 1–10 frequency scale (1 = Never, 10 = Always). The Assessta Culture Score is the mean
of every paired frequency rating. The Culture Alignment Gap is the mean absolute difference between
the promoted and practiced scores. Box plot quartiles use the inclusive median-of-halves method.
eNPS classifies 9–10 as promoters and 0–6 as detractors. Responses are collected without names,
emails, or device identifiers, and group results are suppressed below
5 respondents to protect anonymity.
Wave-over-wave comparisons track each item by lineage: an item's trend continues only while
its wording is unchanged. Reworded items restart their trend line by design.
