Last week in NPS: more than you'd think, less than you'd hope.
Last week in NPS & Retention
Window: 2026-06-22 → 2026-06-29
⭐ Editor's pick this week
Hand-picked disclosures that meet the credibility-guide gold standard — CEO involvement, methodology context, or rare structural honesty.
Zendesk · 2026-06-23
Zendesk CEO Eggemeier personally reaches out to three customers every Monday — tied to weekly Net Promoter Score (NPS) surveys — selecting a mix of small and large customers for a diverse perspective on customer sentiment and experience.
“This is exactly what the Credibility Guide says good NPS practice looks like: named CEO, named cadence (Monday), named method (weekly NPS surveys), and explicit sample selection (mix of small and large customers).”

NPS Intelligence — what we added this week
The big one: up/down motion. We added a new nps_change field that captures the direction of a score, not just the level — mirroring what Retention Intelligence already does. Every disclosure can now carry an “↑ / ↓” or an explicit point-move alongside (or instead of) the absolute number. As of this morning ~3,200 rows carry a movement signal: roughly 2,000 “up”, ~140 “down”, and ~970 explicit point-deltas (e.g. +15pt, +23pt). The backfill is still working through the historical rows, so this number is still climbing.
The reason this matters: about 2,560 of those rows previously had no score at all — the snippet only said “improved”, “rose 6 points”, “doubled”. We were throwing that signal away. Those rows go from blank to meaningful, and it powers a new “Movers this week” angle for the digest.
Classifier improvements
- Relative comparisons no longer misread as scores. Phrases like “9.2 points below mainline” or “rose 11 points” used to be extracted as an absolute NPS of 9.2 or 11. They’re now correctly captured as a change, not a level (this is what fixed some long-standing Delta and Tesco misclassifications).
- Signed-positive handling. A leading “
+” (e.g.+93) is now treated as an absolute positive score, not confused with a delta. - Launch-plus-score conflict (in progress): cases where a snippet has both a programme-launch verb and an explicit score (PX Academy
+93, Velocity Network 87) were being filed as adoption news and the score hidden.
Totals. Headline volume moved only modestly this week — the daily crawl is adding ~30–55 rows/day, of which ~20 carried a brand-new scored disclosure since 24 June. The story this week is depth, not breadth: we didn’t add many new companies, we added a whole second axis (direction) to disclosures we already held. The MCP has also been updated — you can browse this from Claude and other LLMs.
