Shopify had this between ~2017 and ~2020 -- every project was expected to complete a "health check" every two weeks where anonymous participants gave a 1-3 score on various metrics including velocity, quality, making good decisions quickly etc. You couldn't see the scores until everyone had answered and there was cultural pressure towards honesty. All that was stored was the average score and optional comments.
If you left comments, it was generally possible to figure out who said what based on idioms etc. but they were kept separate from the scores anyway.
I thought it was a good system but I'm pretty sure it was gone by the time I left in 2023. If nothing else, I don't think a system based on that kind of radical candor can survive the first or second round of layoffs at any company.
