This is the least surprising thing ever. They’re bleeding cash, and need revenue faster than they can grow their base. They should have done what charities often do: give a checkbox to cover the processing fees if the donor wants to.

Designing a timeline that requires human explanation is how you create job security. "Look, we WANT to fire Brian, but he's the only one that knows what the green dots represent."

Yeah, but when you're asking someone to invest in your company, you don't want them to feel like they don't understand the business. Or time. Or lines.

Mikl posted:

It might, there's a lot more smoothing of the data with sixty-year intervals than with ten-year intervals; Europe's population would always be going up as a trend, but you might miss small variations that correlate more closely to Ireland. I don't think that's what's happening here, but my general point is that when you make a graph comparing two things you should use the same intervals for both of them.

So the graph would be better if they coarsened the Ireland data points to 60-year intervals?

Anyone who seriously defends a metric like NPS(r) that can’t distinguish between everyone rating things 0/10 and 6/10 is at best naive about the tool and more likely just captured because they’ve used it to make decisions in the past and don’t want to admit they were mistaken. It’s a sickness.

Just ask about satisfaction on a small scale (3 or 5 choices) and spend your effort identifying the experiences and behaviours that most correspond to different ratings. You get signals with equivalent predictive power about growth, except they’re less noisy and you can compare different numbers in a sane way.
