NPS scores cluster in the 7–10 range, indicating generally positive sentiment, especially among high-budget, globally focused customers. Most high spenders and longstanding users intend to renew, driven by data quality, reliability, and global coverage. Stickiness is high for core FMCG and retail clients, with some churn signals among influencers with lower or variable spend. Key positive themes include research credibility, actionable insights, and trusted industry standing. Main friction points are high cost, lengthy turnaround, and complexity for basic or niche needs.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
