NPS sentiment for Expanse is overwhelmingly positive with most scores in the 8–10 range and very few detractors. High spenders (>$100K) show both strong NPS and renewal intent, while lower spenders are more mixed. The majority of customers are in the implementation stage beyond one year, reflecting platform stickiness and value realization.
