Yes NPS is what is meant on the agenda.

I actually don't have any recallection why it was added to the
survey, so woudl welcome some discusson on that topic now.

It's on the currnet agenda because Roland was concerned with the delta
in the last two surveys and was looking for more insight into that.

If it's not a useful number (which I can see your case for that) then
we shouldn't collect it an dif we're not going to collect it in the
future there's no point in looking more deeply at it now.

Does anyone recall the thought behind adding NPS or have an argument
for its relevence in our context?
