How do I measure user satisfaction without CSAT surveys?
Surveys capture the loud minority who click a thumb; the silent majority's satisfaction is inferable from behavior. Flowlines derives a CSAT proxy from in-session signals, frustration, abandonment, repeat contacts, resolution, and rolls it into cohorts (happy, neutral, at-risk) and a per-user Power Score so you can track satisfaction continuously instead of sampling it.
Survey response rates are low and biased. The users who answer skew to the extremes, and most of your base never clicks anything. So your “CSAT” is a small, skewed sample of a much bigger reality.
Flowlines infers satisfaction from what users actually do. Sessions that resolve cleanly, with no frustration and no abandonment, read as satisfied; sessions full of re-prompting, corrections, and drop-off read as dissatisfied. Aggregated per user, that becomes a continuous CSAT proxy over your whole base, not a sample.
From there it rolls into cohorts, happy (CSAT high), neutral, at-risk (CSAT low), and into a per-user Power Score (CSAT × cadence) that surfaces who's both active and happy versus active and unhappy.
