How pooling works

On a team under 15, most topics won't reach five people. Run the whole place as one team, or pool your locations into one round. The promises don't change.

Small teams

One link for all locations

Create one round and give every location the same link or QR sheet. People at each site take the same conversation, with the same promises.

One report for the place

You get one report for the whole group, not one per location. It won't tell you which site said what; that's the point.

The five rule applies to the pooled group

A topic shows only when five or more people across the pooled group raised it. Counts under five still print as 'fewer than 5'. Pooling doesn't change the rule; it gives the rule more people to work with.

How to name the team

Name it for the whole group, like "All kitchens" or "Front and back of house". Don't put a location in the name if only a few people work there.

How to tell each crew

Say the same thing at every site: every location is in one round, nobody's answers are split by site, and you'll post what you heard to everyone at once.
