IMPACT AND SCORE-CHANGE ANALYSIS

How the Action Prioritization and ROI Analysis Works.

Turn customer feedback into clear, prioritized insights. Thematic’s Impact and Score Change Analysis guides you through five steps—from theme discovery to impact, trends, segmentation, and AI-driven recommendations—showing exactly what’s affecting your CX scores and where to act next. Follow the steps to discover how Thematic gives you clarity

Automatically find the issues affecting your CX and NPS scores

Thematic uses AI-driven thematic analysis to turn raw, unstructured customer feedback into clear, granular themes.

This is where clarity begins - your teams instantly see what customers are talking about, how they feel, and which topics need closer investigation.

Thematic automatically helps you:

  • Discover granular themes and sub-themes across all feedback sources
  • Quantify theme volume and sentiment at scale
  • Surface new or unusual issues the moment they appear
  • Merge similar topics to reduce noise and create clean taxonomies
  • Establish a single source of truth for feedback patterns

Determine how each theme influences CX metrics

Once themes are identified, Thematic calculates their statistical impact on your KPIs—CX scores, NPS, CSAT, digital metrics, retention signals, and more.

Instead of guessing which issues matter most, you get quantified insight into what truly moves your numbers.

With Impact analysis you can:

  • See which themes are driving CX, NPS, and satisfaction scores
  • Measure how strongly each issue affects customer loyalty and experience
  • Identify high-impact themes you must fix first
  • Compare positive and negative drivers side-by-side
  • Prioritize improvements based on real business impact, not anecdote

Track changes over time and prove the impact of your improvements

With Thematic’s Score Change Analysis, you see what’s driving CX metrics up, down, or stagnating. It’s easier to define and prioritize initiatives, secure executive buy-in, and clearly demonstrate your team’s impact - so you can finally link customer experience improvements directly to commercial and operational outcomes.

With score-change analysis you can:

  • See which themes are driving changes to CX, NPS, and satisfaction scores
  • Measure how strongly each issue affects customer experience
  • Identify high-impact themes you must fix first
  • Determine which improvements had real business impact

Drill into user segments to understand impact by audience

Different customer groups experience your product differently. Thematic makes it effortless to filter impact and trends by any segment—persona, region, journey stage, account type, channel, and more. You instantly see what matters most to whom.

Segment level insights help you:

  • Compare drivers for high-value vs. low-value customers
  • Understand issues unique to digital, in-store, or support channels
  • See how pain points differ by region, product line, or lifecycle stage
  • Prioritize improvements tailored to specific customer groups
  • Validate assumptions with real, statistically sound data

Turn findings into granular issues, root causes, and next steps

Thematic’s Ask Thematic AI combines deep analysis with natural language explanations, so you get precise, actionable insights—along with the charts. Ask Thematic delivers the summary and the long tail of insights, with source data you can dive into, and generates recommendations your teams can act on with confidence.

IMPACT ANALYSIS

Understand what’s driving your score changes

Don’t get distracted by feedback noise. Thematic helps you identify the impact of themes and subthemes on performance metrics, see how they are improving or slipping over time, and drill down for rich context — so your team can quickly align on which actions matter most and why.

  • Identify how feedback themes drive NPS, CSAT, or CES change
  • Show the positive and negative impact of changes you’re making
  • Spot high-impact issues before customer churn

With Thematic we can see exactly how the initiative impacted feedback. Not only in overall sentiment but also in the retention metrics. And that helps us think about how to build new features

ROLE-BASED FEEDBACK ANALYTICS

Give every team proactive and targeted insights

When feedback piles up, it’s hard to know what’s broken and who’s involved. Thematic’s HeatMap reveals feedback themes that matter for each product feature, customer segment or location - so you can drive accountability where needed and then build empathy to take action.

  • Automatically surface top issues for each team, without manual tagging
  • Get role-specific insights with quantitative impact for targeted actions
  • Create team-level reports with relevant metrics and rich stories to build customer empathy

Prior to Thematic, it was a constant struggle for us to make sense of open-ended data, as well as being time-consuming. Now, we can efficiently create audience-dependent insights which add value right across the business.

Good to Know.

Unstructured feedback analytics can be confusing with the AI jargon, so we worked hard to make it clear and simple.
If you still have questions, you can check out Thematic Analysis explained.

What is ‘impact analysis’ in unstructured feedback analytics?

A basic analysis tracks theme volume, while impact analysis shows how much of an impact a theme has on a quantitative indicator (such as NPS, satisfaction, churn rate, account value) over a period of time.

How does Thematic help prioritize issues using unstructured feedback?

The platform provides a combination of features to help you pinpoint what matters most. Our customers find our waterfall analysis of historical impact trending to be very useful in the work of prioritizing issues. It enables them to go beyond volume, impact and segment analysis to explain why metrics changed over time, whether week to week, month on month, etc, and to track the impact of an initiative on the business.

How do you identify pain points across channels?

Thematic identifies “pain points” or triage feedback in a myriad of ways. Apply sentiment filters for negative comments, or out of the box filters such as “issues” or “questions”. Use metadata such as platform, dataset, channel, segment in heatmaps to spot where a pain point is arising.

How is unstructured data used with structured variables (such as metrics, location, customer tenure, or date) used in Thematic?

Use Thematic to cross tab, correlate or dive into structured and unstructured data,  to understand the impact of feedback on the business. Thematic will show historical trends and marry the quantitative and qualitative data to give you a complete understanding of what matters to your customer, how, where and who with.

How much effort is required to create themes or topics and validate them?

Thematic AI automatically discovers the majority of themes from ~1 million comments within an hour or two. No training is required and the AI does not require “supervised categorization”. A person needs 30mins to 2 hours to review themes and adjust them. It depends on how long you want to spend refining themes and how deep you’d like the validations. We can help with suggestions based on the resources available to you.

A theme discovery feature lets you discover themes in your usual workflow and save them for new analysis.

How is the analysis customized to our business?

Every business has unique vocabularies, data formats and reporting needs. Thematic AI analyzes feedback in minutes with a bottom up method, for a full discovery of themes and customer perspectives. Use the Theme Editor to validate the AI’s understanding of feedback, and tailor the theme lens (or taxonomy, if you like) to fit your business structure. We can help with customization based on the resources available to you.

How does your AI process unstructured data so it becomes usable?

Thematic AI processes and mines feedback for themes, sentiment, synthetic scores, triage categories. These become new variables that can be tracked over time, analyzed with your metadata and drilled down into for deep understanding.

Does Thematic integrate multiple feedback channels for a complete customer view?

Data can be aggregated in individual datasets and across all datasets for a unified view (for example, looking at support cases separately from survey data)

Are you able to store and interpret different types of unstructured feedback?

As long as feedback is provided in text form, our AI analyzes it. We can also dissect multiple phrases and separate voices (such as support person vs customer). Our platform clearly displays conversations, chats, verbatim comments, so you can explore these in the analysis.
