# Creating an organization

Onboarding wizard and the initial workspace.

Creating an organization opens a workspace where surveys, teams, participants, results, and growth points will live. Usually, this is the first step after registration, but an organization might not be the only one: if you work with several clients, divisions, or projects, you can create a separate workspace for each.

## What to provide

During onboarding, the organization name is set. It appears in navigation and invitations, so it's best to use a clear working name that participants will recognize as their workspace.

There is no anonymization to choose: surveys are anonymized in every organization and participants act under pseudonyms. The conditions for the person answering are therefore the same everywhere, regardless of who created the workspace and when.

## Who becomes the owner

The user who creates the organization becomes its owner and receives `Admin` level access. They can change the name and logo in the settings, create invitations, manage teams, and launch the first surveys.

The owner is responsible for the initial workspace: invite the right people, gather teams, and start the first **Ask → See → Discuss → Verify** cycle. Raw answers are not shown: anonymized responses and aggregates are used in results when there is enough data for safe display.

## What to do next

After creating the organization, open it and bring the basic settings to a working state: refine the name and logo, create teams, or immediately move on to the first survey if you don’t need a team structure yet.

For the first result, it’s easier to follow the quick start: create an organization, take a ready-made survey template, collect responses, summarize the results, and pick one growth point to work on. This way, the organization doesn’t remain an empty shell but immediately becomes a place where the team goes through its first verifiable cycle of improvement.
