Sequence Flow
Don't ask them to rate it.
Ask them to build it.
Give respondents a pool of items and let them arrange it into their own ordered sequence - a workflow, a priority list, a navigation path - one tap at a time. Then see the single route that best represents everyone, not an averaged rank that no one actually picked.

Tap a step. Pick what goes there. Any order.
Every slot in the sequence is visible from the start - respondents tap any one of them, choose an item from what's left, and watch it land in place. Nothing is forced top-to-bottom, and changing their mind about one slot never reshuffles the rest.

The full list, or just what matters.
Offer as many items as you want, then decide how much of the sequence a respondent actually has to place.

Full sequence
Every item gets placed - the default, and the right choice when the full order genuinely matters.

Just the top few
Set an Arrangement Range - offer 25 items but only ask respondents to place their top 10, for example. Less fatigue, and the ranking that's actually left is the ranking they cared enough to give.
Not just task steps.
A workflow is an obvious fit, but "arrange these into an order" is a shape that shows up everywhere: which of these menu items belong near the top of the nav, which features should ship first, which stops in a journey come before which.
Anywhere you'd otherwise ask for a 1-5 rating per item and hope the averages tell a story, Sequence Flow asks for the order directly - and gets a cleaner answer back.

See the consensus, not just an average.
Averaging every respondent's rank per item, independently, throws away the thing you actually asked for: the order. Sequence Flow analyzes item-to-item transitions instead, and gives you two dedicated views most tools don't have.

Route Flow
The single dominant route - the one sequence that wins the most head-to-head item comparisons across every respondent. One clear answer to "what's the order," not twenty individual ones to reconcile by hand.

The fuller picture - every observed item-to-item transition, sized by how often it happened. See where opinion actually splits, not just which single path won.
Everyone arranged it differently. Now what?
What 40 completed sequences actually look like
Respondent 6: A, B, C, D. Respondent 19: C, A, D, B. Respondent 33: B, D, A, C...
Open the raw data and every respondent has their own opinion about the order, and barely two of them agree - so which sequence do you actually put in front of your stakeholders? Averaging each item's position independently just produces a ranking nobody in your data actually chose.
Route Flow consolidates it the way a runoff election would: for every pair of items, it counts which one more respondents placed first, then finds the single sequence that wins the most of those head-to-head match-ups. That's one real answer built directly out of everyone's input, not a statistical compromise nobody would recognize.
It holds up even when respondents only ranked part of the list under an Arrangement Range - a shorter sequence just contributes fewer head-to-head comparisons toward the same consensus, so partial rankings never leave you with a weaker answer to hand off.
