Ladder Pulse
Customer data in.
Quality score out.
Every organization generates signals about the quality of the experiences it delivers. Pulse listens to all of them and gives you one number you can trust.
A new way to measure
For twenty years, we measured satisfaction. We should have been measuring quality.
NPS asks one question: would you recommend us? CSAT asks another: was this interaction okay? Both give you a number. Neither tells you why the experience feels the way it does, or what specifically would make it better.
Organizations have spent decades collecting feedback: app reviews, surveys, support tickets, field reports, employee sentiment. And pouring it into dashboards full of charts. The data is everywhere. The clarity is nowhere.
What if you could take all of that signal, every source, every format, every voice, and distill it into one honest score that tells you exactly where the experience stands and what to fix first?
That's Pulse.
Four things no other tool does.
AI-driven experience scoring
Applies the Ladder framework, five levels of experience quality refined over 20 years, to every piece of feedback.

Beyond customer feedback
Everyone you serve has a voice.
Pulse makes it count.
Most feedback tools stop at customers. But the people you serve aren't just the ones buying your product. They're the nurse on hour eleven. The technician on a cell tower. The officer responding to a call with software that crashes. The manufacturing team relaying issues from satellites back to HQ.
Their experience matters just as much. And they're already telling you about it. In field reports, dispatch logs, incident tickets, internal surveys, and break room conversations that never make it to a dashboard.
Pulse treats every voice as signal. Customer or employee. External or internal. Digital or physical. If someone's experience depends on the systems you build and the decisions you make, Pulse measures whether you're making their life better.
Signal sources
Pulse listens to everything
3,000+ online sources
Public reviews, forums, communities, social media, ratings platforms, and discussion boards. Wherever humans talk about products, Pulse is listening.
Support transcripts
Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, call center logs. The raw voice of frustration or delight. Available to Pulse subscribers.
NPS and surveys
CSAT, NPS responses, in-app feedback, onboarding surveys, churn interviews. Structured sentiment at scale. Available to Pulse subscribers.
Field reports
Technicians, officers, nurses, inspectors. People in the field telling HQ what’s really happening. Available to Pulse subscribers.
Internal operations
Manufacturing lines, logistics teams, warehouse ops, sales call transcripts. The experience of the people who keep the machine running. Available to Pulse subscribers.
Employee feedback
Engagement surveys, retros, exit interviews, internal forums. The internal experience is an experience too. Available to Pulse subscribers.
How it works
From raw signal to trusted score
Connect your signals
We ingest data from wherever your people talk: review platforms, support tools, CRM systems, internal channels, field reporting systems. Qualtrics, Salesforce, Zendesk, Podium, and dozens more. No format requirements. No migration. Raw signal in.
Map to the Ladder
Our AI, trained on 20 years of experience evaluation, analyzes sentiment, identifies friction patterns, and scores the quality of the experience being described. Not just positive or negative. Five levels of quality. The same framework that Drawbackwards has used on thousands of real projects for the Fortune 50.
Your interface, your context
We design a bespoke Pulse dashboard for your organization. Your teams, your segments, your vocabulary, your reporting cadence. A hospital system sees clinician experience. A manufacturer sees production lines. A police department sees precincts. Not a generic analytics tool. A purpose-built experience scorecard.
Watch the score move
As your organization makes changes (new tools, new workflows, new policies), Pulse shows whether the experience is actually improving. Not vanity metrics. A Ladder score that moves when real things change. Track it weekly. Report it quarterly. Prove that the investment is working.
Where Pulse works
Any organization. Any audience. One score.
Clinicians spend 40% of their time on documentation, not patients
Pulse ingests clinician feedback, EHR friction reports, and patient experience surveys. Maps the care delivery experience to a Ladder score. Tracks improvement as workflows change.
See whether new tools are actually reducing burden or just shifting it
Field teams report issues upward but nothing changes because the signal gets lost
Pulse analyzes field reports, incident logs, and operator feedback from the floor. Surfaces the real experience of the people doing the work — not the executive summary.
Quantify the gap between what leadership thinks and what the team actually experiences
Officers in the field deal with broken tools and disconnected systems daily
Pulse processes officer feedback, dispatch transcripts, and after-action reports. Scores the quality of the tools and workflows they depend on.
Track whether technology investments are actually improving the experience on the ground
Compliance tools are built for auditors, not for the people using them 8 hours a day
Pulse ingests internal ops feedback, workflow friction reports, and task completion data. Reveals where the experience breaks down.
Prioritize improvements based on actual user pain, not feature requests from stakeholders
You have 50,000 app reviews and no idea what they’re really saying
Pulse analyzes reviews, support tickets, and NPS verbatims across every channel. Distills them into a single score with dimension breakdowns.
Know your real Ladder score from the people who use your product every day
Technicians in the field are the last to be heard and the first to suffer from bad software
Pulse processes field service reports, technician feedback, and dispatch logs. Maps the end-to-end field experience to the Ladder framework.
Prove whether new field tools are improving the technician experience or adding overhead
Guest experience is measured in seconds, but feedback takes months to act on
Pulse ingests guest reviews, in-stay survey data, front desk logs, and loyalty program feedback. Scores the end-to-end guest experience against the Ladder.
Know your real guest experience score — not just what TripAdvisor says
Why this matters
Transform the way you improve
every experience you deliver.
Most tools measure what happened. Pulse measures how it felt. That's the difference between a dashboard that confirms your assumptions and a score that challenges them.
When you know your Ladder score, from the people who actually live the experience, you stop guessing. You stop debating. You start improving with precision. And when the score moves, you know the improvement is real, because it came from the people you serve.
Drawbackwards spent 20 years inside these organizations: at the bedside, on the factory floor, in the field, at the front desk. We didn't build Pulse from a conference room. We built it because we kept seeing the same thing: the signal was already there. It just wasn't being measured.
Now it is.
