Every stage below ran for this report. The numbers are this run's, not an illustration.

Anything we count uses a fixed vocabulary, so counts are reliable. Anything that needs nuance is free text and is clustered — never matched by string, which would produce a list of count-of-1 "themes". Each cluster keeps the ids of the items it was built from, so the taxonomy is derived from this data rather than chosen in advance.
| Field | Method | Raw lines | Themes | Largest theme |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| habit_note | free text → clustered → label-merged | 13 | 9 | long-term loyal usage since early days (2) |
| info_needed | free text → clustered → label-merged | 13 | 8 | return and refund policy clarity (3) |
| pain | free text → clustered → label-merged | 194 | 26 | delivery and platform fees too high (25) |
| unmet_need | free text → clustered → label-merged | 184 | 29 | refund and return process reliability (27) |

The narrative model never sees the review corpus. It receives only the aggregates above — counts, percentages and quote ids — and must return each claim with the evidence count it rests on and the quote ids it drew from. Those ids are then checked against real rows; the citation validity figure in the quality panel is that check.
| Guarantee | How it is enforced |
|---|---|
| No claim without a number | n is a required field in the output schema |
| No claim without evidence | quote_ids required; rendered inline above |
| No invented quotes | Ids validated against the corpus → 100% valid |
| No reading of raw reviews | The synthesis payload excludes the corpus by construction |
Seven independent checks. Figures are in the Analysis quality panel above.
| Check | Question it answers | This run |

| Coverage | Did every item classify into a valid object? | 100% |

| Source triangulation | Do independent communities surface the same theme? | 100% |
