Classifying, organizing, and summarizing what people are saying can be a challenging task. We apply state-of-the-art methods to produce reliable, accurate, and usable information from free-form text. Our methods include:

  • Application of logic and theory to derive sets of mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive usable categories.
  • Iterative testing to develop classification rules that produce reliable results.
  • Real-time monitoring of classification outputs to identify and correct anomolies in classification rules.
  • Multisource convergence to resolve classification ambiguities.
  • Classification output validation against established criteria.

Options for automated text classification are becoming more widely available. Our investigation into these automated technologies found they are fairly good at reliably classifying short text into a few simple categories. If you want to know which of two categories any short, free-form answer best fits, then automated  machine classification may be the solution for you.

If you are interested in more detail about what your customers, clients, or constituents are saying, then rigorous human coding using our state-of-the-art methods is probably what you need.

We've used our state-of-the-art methods to classify and summarize some of the more complex sets of free-form text. Our text coding methods have generated new insights into:

  • What people know.
  • What people have done.
  • What people are worried about.
  • What people like and don't like.
  • How people explain things.
