The 43 Analysis Techniques Every CX Team Should Know

Start with six. Grow into the rest.

A field guide to the 43 analysis types in the InsightNarrator catalogue — and which ones your CX team actually needs first.

Breadth is not the goal

Having 43 techniques available matters less than knowing which six answer the question in front of you. The catalogue exists so you never hand-code a new analysis; the sequencing exists so you never run one you cannot act on.

The starting six

For a first quarter on a new dataset, this sequence covers most decisions:

  • Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA)
  • Theme extraction with a governed taxonomy
  • Driver analysis against the numeric metric
  • Complaint-risk scoring (C-Risk)
  • Segment comparison
  • Trend analysis across periods

What to add next

Journey-stage mapping, competitive share of voice and intent classification come next, once the taxonomy is stable and stakeholders trust the outputs.

Key takeaways

  • Sequence beats coverage — six techniques, run in order, answer most questions.
  • Add techniques only when a decision is waiting on them.
