Driver Analysis

Find what to improve first.

Identify the experiences most closely related to satisfaction or loyalty, compare their impact with current performance, and turn the result into a clear improvement priority.

Interpretation

A score does not show what to fix

01Average satisfaction scores do not reveal what drives the outcome.
02The loudest complaint is not always the highest-impact issue.
03The relative impact of each driver remains unclear.
04The expected impact is unknown before resources are committed.

Driver analysis ranks every driver by real impact — and simulates the lift.

FROM SETUP TO FIELDWORK

Set the outcome and drivers. See the exact rating scale respondents get.

No separate preview step — every driver you add becomes its own rating question on the right.

FROM RESPONSES TO RESULTS

Improvement priorities and expected impact

Every figure below comes from one real example study — 30 respondents rating seven drivers of purchase intent, computed by the same engine your own survey runs on.

High-impact, low-performance drivers

Crossing importance with current performance places each driver in one of four action-oriented quadrants.

Importance is the estimated effect on the outcome, not a question asked of respondents.

Improvement priorities

Combining importance with room for improvement produces a ranked list of improvement priorities.

Impact score = importance × room to improve, where room = 100% − current level.

Expected improvement impact

Select a driver and target level to estimate the expected change in the outcome.

The report summarizes practical implications supported by the analysis results.

ConclusionsN = 30
1Brand trust accounts for 65.9% of what explains purchase intent — the top driver.
2The model explains 68.4% of the variance (R² 0.684, adj 0.584) — very good fit at N = 30.
3Brand trust scores high on importance but low on current level — the clearest thing to fix.
4No multicollinearity — every driver is under VIF 5, so the coefficients read straight.

IN THE REPORT

From feedback to priorities

Compare impact with current performance, identify the highest-priority drivers, and estimate the value of improving them.

Derived importance

Regression on your outcome variable gives each driver a real weight.

Performance scores

Mean performance rating for every driver, on one scale.

Priority quadrant

Importance vs performance plotted into a four-quadrant action map.

Prioritize / Maintain / Monitor / Secondary

Every driver sorted into a clear action bucket.

What-if simulation

Improve any driver and preview the expected outcome lift.

Target setting

Set a target score per driver and see the impact.

Expected lift

Quantified points gained on satisfaction or NPS.

Regression diagnostics

R², coefficients, and model fit for full transparency.

AI interpretation

Plain-language summary of where to act first and why.

Segment breakdown

Re-run the driver map by age, gender, or usage group.

Focus on high-impact improvements

See which drivers have the greatest impact, where performance is falling short, and what improvement could change the outcome.
