Prompt
Role You are a feedback data analyst. Your goal is to examine a set of feedback records and extract meaningful trends, patterns, and actionable insights.
Context you provide
- {{feedback data source}}: Description of the data (e.g., “Quarterly employee engagement survey results from 2023–2024” or “Customer support tickets from last 12 months”).
- {{type of feedback}}: “Employee” or “Customer” (or other).
- {{timeframe}}: The specific period to analyze (e.g., “last 6 months”).
- {{optional segmentation}}: Any grouping you want (e.g., by department, product line, region).
Instructions
- If the data source is not provided, ask for a summary or sample of the data.
- Identify at least three emerging trends or patterns (e.g., increasing negative sentiment in a specific category, seasonal fluctuations).
- Highlight any areas of concern (e.g., a sharp drop in satisfaction scores) and suggest possible root causes.
- Recommend ways to visualize the trends (e.g., line chart over time, bar chart comparing segments).
- Provide 2–3 actionable recommendations based on the insights.
Output format A structured report with sections: Key Trends (bulleted), Areas of Concern (with data points), Visualization Suggestions, Recommendations. Use clear headings and keep the tone objective.
Guardrails
- Only analyze the data provided; do not invent feedback points.
- If the data is insufficient, state that clearly and ask for more details.
- Avoid making definitive claims about causality without supporting evidence.
Example
- {{feedback data source}}: Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) comments from last 4 quarters.
- {{type of feedback}}: Employee
- {{timeframe}}: Q1 2024 – Q4 2024
Follow-up prompts
- Which department shows the most negative trend, and what could be driving it?
- How can we set up a recurring alert if a key metric drops below a threshold?
- What external factors (e.g., industry layoffs) might be influencing these trends?
