Brand Truth. Not brand Hope

NPS + DeepDive by Nextyn

Understand what your acquisition's customers actually think, before you buy it or integrate it.

PE firms make multi-million dollar decisions on brand assumptions. Most rely on management commentary or surface-level NPS surveys. We give you what customers really think, in their own words, synthesized by expert analysts, searchable through AI.

For FDD teams, deal teams, and post-acquisition integration leaders who can't afford to be wrong.

You're missing the ground truth.

Your Due Diligence Has a $100 Million Blind Spot.

PE firms spend months validating financials, operations, and technology. But brand health? Customer satisfaction? Joining motivation? These typically come from:
Management presentations (inherently biased)
Surface-level surveys (2-3 questions, no depth)
Consultant opinions (interpretation, not data)
Fragmented customer feedback (no coherent story)
The problem:
By the time you realize customer sentiment is deteriorating or the "brand promise" doesn't match reality, you've already bought the company. Post-acquisition fixes cost 3-5x more than pre-deal validation.

NPS Survey + In-Depth Customer Interviews = Unshakeable Brand Truth

True customer understanding doesn’t come from a single data point. It’s the intersection of what people say, how they feel, and why they act. At Nextyn, we’ve engineered a three-layer framework that moves beyond conventional customer surveys. By combining statistically rigorous survey analytics, analyst-led qualitative depth, and AI-enabled interpretation, we transform fragmented customer feedback into an unshakeable truth about brand performance. This hybrid model gives investors and operators a living, breathing pulse of the customer — measurable, explainable, and actionable.

Layer 1:
Quantified Brand Intelligence - NPS Survey

Every CX Signal engagement begins with a scientifically designed, data-driven customer survey. This isn’t just a check-box NPS exercise, it’s a comprehensive brand diagnostic built to quantify sentiment, loyalty, and perception across multiple touchpoints. We measure:

  • Net Promoter Score (NPS) and promoter/detractor segmentation
  • Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) - product, service, support, brand perception
  • Customer Joining Motivation (why they chose this company)
  • Brand perception and differentiation vs. competitors
  • Churn risk indicators and retention drivers

Our survey design ensures statistically significant sample sizes, proper weighting, and benchmarking against both industry and regional norms. Each insight feeds into an intuitive, interactive dashboard, giving you a factual baseline of where the brand truly stands.

Result:
You get a statistically sound baseline of where the brand stands. No guesswork. All dashboarded and comparable to industry benchmarks.

Layer 2:
Analyst-Moderated In-Depth Customer Interviews

This is where most survey approaches stop. We don’t. Our experienced customer research analysts conduct 30-minute, 1-on-1 interviews with a curated sample of survey respondents (typically 10% or more). These are not scripted or robotic, they’re expert-moderated deep dives designed to uncover emotion, motivation, and friction points that numbers alone can’t explain.

  • Dig into the "why" behind every score
  • Uncover unspoken pain points and delight drivers
  • Extract verbatim commentary that brings quantitative data to life
  • Identify patterns and contradictions that point to deeper insights
  • Push where it matters, knowing exactly when to probe deeper

You can even join these sessions in ghost mode, observing in real time without influencing responses. What sets this apart is the human craft of insight extraction: our moderators are trained in customer psychology, not just survey mechanics.

Result:
Transcripts, audio files, and verbatim quotes that turn raw survey numbers into actionable narrative.

Layer 3:
AI-Powered Dashboard - Querry in Natural Language

All transcripts and recordings are securely housed in your Nextyn IQ Dashboard, giving you perpetual access to the voice of your customer, not filtered through interpretation, but directly searchable and actionable. Every insight, every verbatim, and every sentiment is preserved in one living repository, creating a single source of truth you can revisit, reanalyze, and build upon as your strategy evolves.

  • Instantly search all transcripts — “What did customers say about onboarding?”
  • Listen to specific call audio anytime
  • Ask our native AI questions to surface insights from every conversation
  • Filter findings by segment, NPS score, geography, or sentiment intensity
  • Build your own insights and export evidence directly into strategy decks

You own every byte of data. We simply empower you with clarity, speed, and structure.

Result:
Continuous discovery. Transparent insight generation. An evolving, self-refreshing understanding of your customers that grows with your portfolio.

Why Nextyn? We're Built Different.

Most survey firms hand you data. Most consulting firms hand you their interpretation. We give you both—and the raw materials to verify and re-interpret as you see fit.

Here's what matters:
Analyst Quality: Our customer research analysts aren't junior data collectors. They have 5+ years in customer research, behavioral psychology, or qualitative methodology. They know how to listen, probe, and extract signal from noise. They understand the psychology of why customers choose to stay or leave.
Methodological Rigor: Survey design follows ESOMAR guidelines. Sampling is statistically sound. Interviews are structured but not rigid. Analysis is rigorous but human-led, not algorithm-dependent.
Speed + Depth: Most firms make you choose between fast and deep. We give you both. Our distributed analyst team can move fast. Our methodology ensures depth. 8-12 weeks from kickoff to deliverables.
Radical Transparency: We don't interpret and disappear. We give you transcripts, audio, and AI-powered search so you can interrogate the data yourself. You're not reliant on our narrative.
PE Fluency: We've done this for PE firms before. We understand FDD timelines, deal urgency, and the questions that matter most in M&A context. We talk your language.
