FAQ
What is a 9-box grid?
A 9-box grid is a talent management tool that plots employees on two axes: performance (how well they do their current job) and potential (their capacity for growth). It’s commonly used during performance reviews to identify high performers, development candidates, and succession planning opportunities.
How do I update the grid when my data changes?
Just update your source data and click Run again. The add-on regenerates the entire grid with the new information—no need to manually move names between boxes or reformat anything.
How do I use the add-on with my iPad?
Open your Google Sheet in the Safari web browser instead of Chrome or the Sheets mobile app. If you still do not see the full version of Google Sheets, go to Settings, then Safari, and select Request desktop website. Toggle this setting to on.
Is my data secure?
Yes. 9 Box Maker is built with a “Zero-Knowledge” architecture.
- No Data Storage: We do not maintain databases to store your spreadsheet content.
- Local Execution: The logic to generate your grid runs entirely within your own Google Sheets instance.
- GDPR & CCPA Compliant: Because we do not collect, process, or sell employee PII, we meet the strictest data privacy standards by default.
- Encrypted Transit: In the rare case of license verification, only your email address is used, and it is handled via secure, encrypted protocols.
