What this video covers
Net promoter score asks one question - "how likely are you to recommend us?" on a 0 to 10 scale - then subtracts the share of detractors (0 to 6) from the share of promoters (9 to 10). The 7s and 8s sit in the middle as a neutral zero. The result runs from -100 to +100.
Each time you nudged someone up a bucket, the score moved the same fixed step - and a passive landed exactly in the middle, pulling it neither way. Turn a detractor all the way to a promoter and it moved twice as far. NPS rewards the whole journey from unhappy to delighted, but treats the lukewarm middle as nothing. It only ever hears the ends.
