Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for analyzing Net Promoter Score (NPS) ratings are complex due to the continuous scale and categorization into promoters, passives, and detractors, which overlooks the passives category and struggles to identify key drivers from unstructured textual data.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilize hardware processors and memory modules to receive and process NPS survey responses, determining influencing factors by counting respondents, calculating key drivers, performing segment-wise response counts, calculating probabilities and impacts, and conducting sentiment analysis to prioritize key drivers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If NPS ratings are divided into three discrete categories (promoters, passives, detractors), then the continuous scale is simplified for analysis, but the passives category is completely disregarded in NPS score computation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of NPS analysisVSAvoidinformation loss from disregarding passives category
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the NPS analysis into three distinct categories (promoters, passives, detractors) while maintaining separate tracking and analysis for each segment. This allows the system to preserve information from all categories including passives, while still providing simplified categorical analysis for ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a new dimension to NPS analysis by introducing segment-wise analysis that operates parallel to the traditional overall NPS calculation. This enables the system to disregard passives in the traditional score computation while simultaneously providing dedicated analysis that captures and utilizes passive respondent information through separate metrics and visualizations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If open-ended driver questions are used to collect reasons for ratings, then qualitative feedback is obtained, but the unstructured textual data makes it challenging to identify key drivers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepreservation of qualitative feedbackVSAvoidcomplexity of analyzing unstructured textual data
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual analysis of unstructured textual data with automated text processing and natural language processing algorithms. This substitution transforms the complex mechanical task of manually coding and categorizing open-ended responses into an automated computational process that can efficiently identify key drivers, themes, and patterns in the qualitative feedback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms unstructured textual data into structured parameters by extracting key drivers, sentiment scores, and thematic categories from open-ended responses. This parameter transformation converts qualitative text into quantifiable metrics that can be systematically analyzed, tracked, and integrated with the NPS scoring system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If segment-wise analysis is performed for each NPS category, then accurate identification of key drivers is achieved, but the analysis complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of key driver identificationVSAvoidcomplexity of segment-wise analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal analysis framework that processes all three NPS segments (promoters, passives, detractors) through the same text analysis pipeline and key driver identification algorithms. This multi-functional approach maintains measurement precision by applying consistent analytical methods across segments while reducing overall complexity through standardization and reusability of analytical components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the segment-wise analysis results into a unified key driver identification process. By combining the analytical workflows for promoters, passives, and detractors into a single integrated system that shares common processing logic and data structures, the patent achieves accurate segment-specific insights while managing analysis complexity through consolidation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
