# Interactive analysis

> Explore transcripts through respondent-attributed, chat-based analysis

Analysis turns completed interviews into decision-ready insight through interactive exploration and structured reporting. All analysis is grounded in verbatim responses from participants.

## Chat-based analysis

Once interviews are complete, you can explore the data using chat — asking natural-language questions of the interview dataset and receiving respondent-attributed answers. Typical uses include:

* Identifying key themes, risks, or tensions.
* Comparing responses across segments or markets.
* Stress-testing early interpretations ("What's the strongest objection?").
* Pulling illustrative quotes to support a claim.

| Goal                | Example prompt                                                                           |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Thematic overview   | "What are the main themes in how participants talk about financial security?"            |
| Segment comparison  | "How do responses to the stimulus differ between parents and non-parents?"               |
| Risk identification | "What are the strongest objections or concerns participants raised about this campaign?" |
| Quote extraction    | "Find me 3–4 quotes where participants talk about trust in healthcare providers."        |

## Traceability and evidence

Analysis outputs are accompanied by citations that trace each claim back to specific verbatim responses and their location in the transcripts. This lets you:

* Validate interpretations.
* Verify that themes are supported by actual participant language.
* Avoid "black box" insight where you can't see the source.
* Pull additional quotes or context as needed.

<Note>
  Grounding in transcripts is the core safeguard against the model substituting its own opinion for participant data. When a theme is surfaced, you can always trace it back to who said what, and in what context.
