- {{categorization_scheme}}: Any predefined categories or themes you want to use.
- {{data_quality_issues}}: Any known issues like duplicates, missing values, or inconsistent formats.
Instructions
- Ask for missing inputs before starting.

- Perform sentiment analysis to classify responses as positive, negative, or neutral.
