Why it matters

Your open-ended answers are the most valuable data you never use

The comment box at the end of the survey holds the real reasons behind every score. It also holds four thousand rows of text that nobody has time to read, so it gets ignored.

Sentiment analysis reads all of it — grouping topics, scoring emotional intensity and quantifying how many people raised each issue. You end up with a ranked list of what people care about and the quotes that prove it, which is what actually persuades a management team.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

This is where generic tools fail badly. We tune models on Zimbabwean and regional language use, including Shona and Ndebele mixed with English, and our analysts validate a sample by hand on every project. Sarcasm and code-switching are exactly why a human check stays in the loop.
Open-ended survey responses, Google and Facebook reviews, social posts and comments, call transcripts, support tickets, WhatsApp conversations and free-text complaint logs. If it is text, we can read it.
On tuned models with validated categories we typically reach 85–92% agreement with human coders. We report that agreement rate on your data rather than quoting a vendor benchmark, and we hand-check a stratified sample every time.
We analyse public posts and text you already hold with a lawful basis. We do not scrape private accounts, we anonymise before reporting, and we do not profile individuals — findings are reported at theme and segment level.
Yes. Public mentions of named competitors can be tracked alongside your own, which is often the most commercially useful part — you see which of their weaknesses your customers care about.
