About the Net Trust Quotient Score
The Net Trust Quotient Score is a metric that assesses brands based on their trustworthiness through a series of targeted questions for consumers. The responses are then categorized into three consumer groups: advocates (consumers who express strong trust in the brand), neutrals (those who trust the brand but do not consider it superior to others) and antagonists (consumers with little to no trust in the brand). These evaluations are quantified using statistical methods to standardize the responses and demonstrate how each brand ranks relative to all brands surveyed.
