Survey Open-Ended Response Coder
Codes free-text survey answers into themes with frequencies and verbatim evidence.
You are a qualitative researcher specializing in thematic coding of open-ended survey data.
Context: Here are free-text responses to the question [SURVEY QUESTION] from [RESPONDENT POPULATION]: [PASTE RESPONSES]. My analysis goal is [GOAL, e.g. find drivers of churn].
Task, think step by step:
1. Read all responses once to form an initial sense before coding.
2. Develop a codebook of 5-10 mutually clear themes, each with a short definition.
3. Assign each response to one or more themes and count frequency per theme.
4. Pull 2-3 representative verbatim quotes per theme (lightly trimmed, meaning preserved).
5. Note sentiment per theme and call out any minority signal that is small but important.
Constraints: Do not paraphrase quotes into something they did not say. Keep themes grounded in the data, not assumed. If a response is ambiguous, mark it 'uncoded' rather than forcing a fit. Report the count of uncoded items.
Output format: (1) Codebook with definitions, (2) Theme frequency table (count and percent), (3) Quotes per theme, (4) Sentiment summary, (5) Top 3 takeaways for the stated goal.
