# Understanding Reports

User Intuition automatically synthesizes your interview data into actionable reports. Reports transform hours of conversations into clear insights, recommendations, and supporting evidence.

***

## Accessing Reports

From your Study Dashboard:

1. Click the **Reports** tab
2. View the AI-generated analysis

<Note>
  Reports require at least **2 completed interviews** to generate meaningful insights. The more responses you collect, the richer your report will be.
</Note>

***

## Report Structure

Reports are organized into several sections designed to take you from high-level findings to supporting detail:

### Executive Summary

A concise overview of the most important findings from your research. This section is designed to quickly communicate key takeaways to stakeholders who may not read the full report.

### Total Participants

A clear count of how many interviews contributed to this report (e.g., "Total Participants (N): 1"). This helps you and your stakeholders understand the sample size behind the insights.

### Top Insights at a Glance

A bulleted list of the most significant findings, each with a brief explanation. These are the insights most likely to drive action.

**Example:**

> * **Value is Price-Driven, Not Actively Tracked:** The participant defines value as getting "bargains" and low prices, trusting the overall basket total reflects savings rather than performing explicit ROI calculations.
>
> * **Pharmacy Lacks Credibility:** Despite using the pharmacy for convenience, the participant feels it lacks a "real health care experience" and desires more proactive counsel from staff.

### Detailed Analysis

In-depth exploration of findings organized by research objective or theme. Each section includes:

* **Key observations:** What the data shows
* **Supporting evidence:** Quotes and examples from interviews
* **Implications:** What this means for your business

### Recommendations

Actionable next steps based on the research findings. Recommendations are specific, actionable, prioritized by potential impact, and connected to supporting evidence.

## Generating Reports

### Initial Report Generation

Reports are generated on-demand after you have at least 2 completed interviews:

1. Navigate to the **Reports** tab
2. Click **Generate Report** (if no report exists yet)
3. Wait for the AI to analyze your interviews and produce the report

### Updating Reports

As more responses come in, you'll need to regenerate the report to include new data:

1. Navigate to the **Reports** tab
2. Click **Regenerate Report**
3. The updated report will incorporate all completed interviews

<Info>
  **Coming Soon:** Automatic report regeneration after each new response.

## Working with Reports

### Sharing with Stakeholders

Reports are designed to be presentation-ready:

* **Executive Summary** for leadership and quick reviews
* **Top Insights** for team meetings and discussions
* **Detailed Analysis** for deep dives and planning sessions

### Using Quotes and Evidence

The report includes verbatim quotes from participants. Use these to:

* Build credibility for your findings
* Illustrate points in presentations
* Create empathy for customer perspectives

### Connecting to Transcripts

If you want to explore a finding more deeply:

1. Note the relevant insight from the report
2. Switch to the **Calls** tab
3. Review the source transcripts for additional context

## Report Quality

### Factors Affecting Report Quality

| Factor                    | Impact                                                     |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Number of responses**   | More responses = more robust patterns                      |
| **Response quality**      | High-quality interviews provide richer insights            |
| **Research plan clarity** | Well-defined objectives lead to focused analysis           |
| **Topic coverage**        | Consistent coverage across interviews strengthens findings |

### Minimum Sample Sizes

| Research Goal          | Recommended Minimum |
| ---------------------- | ------------------- |
| Exploratory insights   | 5-10 interviews     |
| Pattern identification | 10-20 interviews    |
| Segment comparison     | 10+ per segment     |
| Statistical confidence | 30+ interviews      |

While reports can be generated with just 2 interviews, more responses provide greater confidence in patterns, more diverse perspectives, and richer supporting evidence.

## Interpreting Results

### Strong vs. Weak Signals

**Strong signals** (high confidence):

* Mentioned by multiple participants
* Consistent across different segments
* Supported by specific examples

**Weak signals** (requires more data):

* Mentioned by only one participant
* Contradicted by other responses
* Lacking specific examples

### Handling Contradictions

When participants disagree:

* Look for segment differences (e.g., new vs. long-term customers)
* Consider context differences
* Note the contradiction for further research

### Sample Size Caveats

Always consider sample size when interpreting results:

| Sample Size | Confidence Level                            |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **2-5**     | Treat as directional hypotheses to validate |
| **10-20**   | Patterns are emerging but may shift         |
| **30+**     | Higher confidence in consistent findings    |

## Best Practices

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Before sharing reports">
    1. **Review for accuracy:** Spot-check quotes against transcripts
    2. **Add context:** Note sample size and any limitations
    3. **Highlight priorities:** Call out the most actionable insights
    4. **Connect to decisions:** Link findings to pending business decisions
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Using reports effectively">
    1. **Start with the Executive Summary:** Get the big picture first
    2. **Dive into relevant sections:** Focus on your priority questions
    3. **Review supporting evidence:** Build confidence in key findings
    4. **Plan next steps:** Turn insights into actions
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Iterative research">
    Reports often raise new questions. Consider follow-up studies to explore specific findings, segment-specific research to understand differences, and longitudinal studies to track changes over time.

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I edit the report?">
    Reports are generated by AI and are read-only. You can copy content to edit externally.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How often should I regenerate the report?">
    Regenerate when you've collected a meaningful batch of new responses (e.g., 5-10 more interviews). Frequent regeneration with small increments may not show significant changes.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I generate different types of reports?">
    Currently, one standard report format is generated. Custom report formats may be available for enterprise customers—contact support for details.
  </Accordion>
