Sentiment analysis

Definition

Classifying posts and comments as positive, negative or neutral. Sentiment scoring reads text and assigns polarity, often with stance (for or against) and emotion (trust, frustration, relief). Aggregated over time it shows how a launch or issue is landing.

Why it matters

Negative share moving is the earliest public signal of a product or service problem.

How Zaver measures it

Every listening record is scored for sentiment, stance, emotion, issues and expectations; alerts fire on negative share, volume, watch words and mood.
