Diverging Likert chart: Awkward rows, same contract. 6 questions on a 5-point scale from Strongly disagree to Strongly agree. Percentages are of every response. The neither band straddles the axis, so each bar is a whole 100% — but the centre line is the middle of that band, not the line between disagreement and agreement. Every row is drawn against one shared scale reaching 100% either side of the centre. Pooled across every question: 28% positive, 17% negative, net +11 points. Most positive: One answer swept the whole scale, net +100 points. Most negative: I could find, without asking a single person, the written answer to a question about how our deployment process works — including who approves a release and what happens when a pre-flight check fails at three in the morning, net -17 points.
