NPS Triangulation Worked Example
Anonymised UK mid-market CDD worked example.
§ DIRECT ANSWER
NPS Triangulation Worked Example: anonymised triangulation and what it changed at IC.
Management claimed NPS 56. The CDD team interviewed 18 customers and asked the standard 0-10 NPS question. 11 promoters, 4 passives, 3 detractors. Triangulated NPS: ((11-3)/18) x 100 = 44. Delta of 12 points was the second-largest red flag in the risk register.
§ 1.1Why the delta mattered
Sponsor IC was anchored on NPS 56 in the heads of terms. A 12-point swing on a customer-quality claim went straight to chapter VI as an amber, and to the IC slide as a thesis caveat.
§ 1.2Sample size defence
18 interviews on a 47-customer base is 38% coverage. IC accepted it; chair noted the chapter footnote.
