10D01 NPS & CSAT WIP
NPS and CSAT are the standing pulse of how customers feel — one measuring loyalty, the other satisfaction. Tracked consistently, they turn sentiment into a number with drivers behind it.
NPSTracked CSATPer touch DRIVERSAnalysed TRENDWatched
D01.1 · NET PROMOTER
The loyalty question.
NPS asks the one question — how likely are you to recommend WCN — and tracks the promoter-minus-detractor score over time. It’s a blunt but durable loyalty signal.
ASKRecommend?
SCOREPromoters − detractors
SIGNALLoyalty
DURABLEYes
D01.2 · SATISFACTION
The moment question.
CSAT measures satisfaction with specific interactions — support, onboarding, a release. Where NPS is the relationship, CSAT is the individual moment.
MEASURESInteractions

D01.3 · DRIVERS
Why the score moved.
A follow-up asks why, and responses are themed. The score tells you the temperature; the drivers tell you what to fix — which is the part that matters.

D01.4 · THE TREND
Direction over headline.
Both metrics are watched as trends against benchmarks, not as one-off headlines. A moving score with known drivers is a roadmap; a static number is a vanity stat.

MOVING+ drivers = roadmap
STATIC= vanity

Don't track the score alone — Capture the why.

Don't conflate NPS and CSAT — Relationship vs moment.

Don't chase the headline — Watch the trend.

Don't survey constantly — Respect response fatigue.
“The score is the temperature; the drivers are the diagnosis.”
10D02 Social listening WIP
Surveys capture answers to questions you thought to ask. Social listening captures what people say when no one’s asking — the unfiltered, real-time voice of the market about WCN.
SOURCESSocial · reviews THEMESExtracted SENTIMENTScored ALERTSOn spikes
D02.1 · SOURCES
Where the talk is.
Listening spans the platforms where crypto communities actually gather — plus reviews and forums. Coverage follows the audience, not just the easy-to-scrape channels.

NOTJust easy ones
D02.2 · THEME EXTRACTION
Patterns, not just posts.
Mentions are grouped into themes — recurring praise, complaints, confusion. Themes turn an unreadable firehose into a short list of what the market is actually saying.

D02.3 · SENTIMENT
Tone, at scale.
Each theme carries a sentiment read, so the brand sees not just what’s discussed but how people feel about it. This feeds the sentiment metric in the health cluster.

D02.4 · SPIKE ALERTS
Catch it early.
Sudden spikes — a viral complaint, an impersonation scam — trigger alerts so the brand and security teams respond fast. Listening is an early-warning system, not just a report.

“The most honest feedback is the kind no one was asked to give.”
10D03 User interviews WIP
Metrics tell you what changed; interviews tell you why, in a human voice. Regular one-to-one conversations with users surface the motivations and frictions no survey scale can capture.
CADENCEOngoing FORMAT1:1 SYNTHESISThemes OUTInsights
D03.1 · CADENCE
A steady drip.
A few interviews every month beats a big batch once a year. A steady cadence keeps the team continuously in touch with real users, not periodically surprised by them.

D03.2 · FORMAT
Open, and quiet.
Sessions are semi-structured — a few guiding questions, then listening. The goal is to hear the user’s framing, not to lead them to the answer the team expected.

D03.3 · SYNTHESIS
From talk to themes.
Notes are synthesised into recurring themes across interviews. One person’s opinion is an anecdote; the same point from five users is a finding.

10D04 Ticket themes PLANNED
Support tickets are the largest, most honest dataset of customer pain the company has — and usually the least mined for brand signal. This turns that backlog into themes worth acting on.

D04.1 · THE SOURCE
Honest, and huge.
Every ticket is a customer telling you something is wrong, in their own words and at volume. It’s the cheapest, most candid voice-of-customer data available — already paid for.

Themes feed product, support and brand — confusion about messaging is a brand problem as much as a support one. The loop closes when a theme drives a fix.

10D05 Win / loss PLANNED
Every decision to adopt WCN — or a competitor — carries a reason. Win/loss analysis gathers those reasons systematically, so the brand learns what tips the choice and what loses it.
WONWhy LOSTWhy PATTERNSFound FEEDSBrand · product
D05.1 · WHY WON
What tipped it.
For wins, the analysis captures what actually decided it — a feature, the brand’s trust, a relationship. Knowing your real strengths lets you lean into them.

D05.2 · WHY LOST

Losses are mined just as carefully — price, missing capability, a competitor’s brand. Losses are where the most uncomfortable, useful truth lives.

Individual deals are anecdotes; patterns across many are strategy. Recurring loss reasons point to real gaps — in product, positioning or perception.

The why behind the what.
NPS, social listening and interviews are running. Ticket-theme mining and win/loss analysis are scoped — closing the loop between metrics and the human reasons behind them.
