DEX / Analysis

Analysis Hub

Turn hundreds of open-text answers into themes and sentiment scores, after quarterly engagement, week-1 pulses, or exit interviews.

Real-world scenario

Priya Mehta · People Ops Lead at Bluewave Labs

Q2 engagement closed with 147 open-text responses. Priya opens Analysis, runs sentiment on Engineering answers, and uses wordcloud to confirm "on-call load" appeared 34 times, data for the VP conversation, not gut feel.

Before you begin

  • Completed or in-progress deployment with open-text questions
  • Enough responses to summarize (typically 20+ for trends)

Overview

Open DEX → Analysis when numbers from Analytics tell you what happened and you need to understand why. The hub connects sentiment scoring, wordcloud visualization, and per-survey drill-downs in one place.

Analysis tools

Pick the tool that matches your question:

Recommended workflow

  1. Confirm completion rate in Analytics or on the DEX Dashboard
  2. Run Sentiment on open-text columns
  3. Open Wordcloud to prioritize themes
  4. Drill into sample responses for quotes you'll paraphrase in leadership decks
  5. For exit interviews, compare this quarter's wordcloud to last quarter's, patterns beat one anecdote

Start with a filter

Company-wide wordclouds dilute signal. Filter by folder or deployment first. Engineering Q2, then All Employees Q2.
