Pro Tips

• Format quantitative data: Present survey results as tables or bullet points with numbers for easier analysis
• Include open-ended responses: Paste all open-ended responses so AI can identify themes and patterns
• Specify respondent count: Mention "250 respondents" so AI can provide context about sample size
• Request prioritization: Ask "Prioritize design recommendations by impact and feasibility" for actionable insights
• For large surveys: If you have hundreds of responses, consider analyzing by question: "Analyze responses to question 3"
