2. Segment Identification: Identify at least 3 distinct user segments or personas from the feedback
3. Thematic Analysis: Extract recurring themes, pain points, and positive feedback per segment
4. Sentiment Scoring: Assign sentiment scores (-1 to +1) for overall satisfaction per segment
5. Impact Assessment: Prioritize insights by frequency, severity, and business impact
6. Synthesis: Create segment profiles with consolidated insights
