Sentiment Analysis

Know how people feel, and about what.

Every mention is scored positive, neutral or negative the moment it arrives, then grouped into topics like pricing, support and product quality. An average tells you something changed. Topics tell you why.

How scoring works

Read in context, not by keyword.

The model reads the whole mention rather than counting positive or negative words. That is how a sarcastic 'great, another outage' ends up negative instead of positive.

  • “...support team resolved it in under an hour, genuinely impressed...”

    PositiveSupportResolution + praise
  • “...does what it says. Nothing more, nothing less...”

    NeutralProduct qualityFactual, no strong tone
  • “...renewal price jumped without any heads up...”

    NegativePricingComplaint about a change
  • “...great, another outage right before a deadline...”

Topic clustering

The average hides the story. Topics reveal it.

Overall sentiment can look stable while one topic quietly turns negative. In the sample below, pricing carries almost half of all negative mentions even though the brand is 71% positive overall.

Topics are created from recurring themes in your own mentions

Questions

Sentiment FAQ

How accurate is automated sentiment scoring?

Automated scoring is strong on clear opinions and weaker on heavy sarcasm, mixed opinions and very short posts. That is why every score links to the original mention and can be corrected by your team.

Can one mention have more than one topic?

A mention is assigned to its main topic for clean reporting. Mentions that clearly cover more than one theme can be retagged by your team.

Do corrections change historical reports?

Yes. When a mention's sentiment or topic is corrected, dashboards and future digests reflect the change.

Is sentiment the same as star rating?

No. A three-star review can be warm or frustrated. Kenaura reads the text itself, and shows the star rating alongside when a review site provides one.
