      Analysis Tools Overview

      Overview

      There is no single, “right way” of analyzing data in Remesh. How you prepare and analyze the data will ultimately vary depending on the study, overall objectives, and your personal preferences as a researcher.

      Remesh has a number of analysis tools available that help make your analysis easy. In this article, we’ll be focusing specifically on Post Conversation Analysis resources, indicated by this icon . These are the tools that become available after your Remesh Conversation has ended or after you’ve imported your external data. 

      Some of our analysis tools require that a Workspace Admin enable Large Language Model features. You can read more about LLM feature enablement here, and will find a note alongside the features that require enablement.

      Getting Started

      Before you begin your analysis, it can be helpful to review the following.

      • Segments are the easiest way to cut data throughout your analysis. We recommend creating a few segments before you begin your analysis for easy access, but you can continue to create them throughout as well.
      • We have a few metrics that are unique to Remesh, the primary one being our Percent Agree metric. This metric is specific to our Ask Opinion questions, and leverages an algorithm to generate a projected percentage of the population that would agree with a given response. You can read more about all our metrics here!
