Ask about behavior

Research is stronger when it focuses on what customers already tried, bought, ignored, or complained about.

Separate themes from proof

Use ChatGPT to group feedback, but keep raw quotes and source context visible.

Turn insights into decisions

Every synthesis should lead to messaging, product, pricing, onboarding, or support actions.
