i see this all the time with software designed by americans. on an old job we used a tool called “officevibe” where you’d enter your current impression of your role and workplace once a month. you got some random questions to answer on a 10-degree scale.

when we were presented with the result the stats were terrible because the scale was weighted so that everything below 7 was counted as negative. we were all just answering 5 for “it’s okay”, 3-4 for “could use improvement”, and 6-7 for “better than expected”. there had never been a 10 in the stats, and the software took that as “this place sucks”.
