Satisfaction level was something which dictated how happy a citizen was in being a part of the particular kingdom that they inhabited. Hence, after repeated experimentation, and due to all the efforts he had undertaken to increase the satisfaction level of his own kingdom, Daneel had an idea regarding how to influence it in whatever way he wished.
Basically, it was all about the thoughts of a citizen. He had always known that it was possible to use indirect methods in order to increase the satisfaction level drastically, such as the one that the King of Axelor was employing. Yet, he had always had the feeling that there must be some motive behind the Emperor putting this as the test for those who wished to obtain what he had hidden behind the three seals.
So, he had always endeavored to increase it in the right way, and he was happy that most of his efforts had worked out well.
