Sentiment analysis report

Overview

Bizrate Insights collects millions of post-purchase survey responses annually — including open-ended comments that, when processed through NLP, reveal nuanced sentiment patterns structured questions miss. The challenge: how do you present that data to a VP of Marketing in a way that's immediately actionable?

I designed a visualization and reporting system that translates complex NLP output into a clean, hierarchical report that tells a clear story from executive summary down to granular detail.

"The data was right. The story was missing."

The challenge

NLP sentiment data is inherently complex — scores, distributions, topic tags, sample quotes, trend lines. The raw output was accurate but overwhelming. The goal was to design for the decision-maker, not the data scientist — someone who needs to walk into a quarterly review and explain to leadership what customers are saying and what to do about it.

Approach
1
Audience mapping
Worked with client success to understand the range of people receiving this report — from data analysts to CMOs. Designed an explicit hierarchy: summary first, depth available on demand.
2
Sentiment visualization system
Designed a consistent visual encoding for sentiment — color, shape, and position working together so positive, neutral, and negative signals are immediately recognizable without reading labels.
3
Narrative structure
Restructured the report flow: overview scores → topic breakdown → trend over time → representative quotes → recommendations. Each section answers a specific question a stakeholder would actually ask.
4
Template & tool system
Built the report in Infogram for interactive digital delivery and Figma for print/PDF variants. Template system lets the data team populate new reports efficiently.
