It is a radial chart that assesses and visualizes the diversity of ideas on a scale of 10, utilizing six key metrics where 10 is extremely diverse and 1 is non-diverse. 

This is a non-interactive chart, as each metric provides an assessment of the overall quality across all ideas rather than focusing on specific ideas or subsets.

The six key metrics utilized to evaluate the strength of ideas are:

a. Originality - Evaluate the uniqueness and novelty of the ideas in relation to others.
b. Variety - Assesses the range of different concepts or themes represented.
c. Depth - Evaluate the complexity and thoroughness of the ideas.
d. Feasibility - Assesses the practicality and feasibility of implementing each idea.
e. Impact - Assesses the potential impact and significance of the ideas if implemented.
f. Inclusivity - Evaluates the extent to which diverse groups or perspectives are represented.

4. Campaign Parameter - Includes a comprehensive list of all campaigns for which the analytics have been generated.
5. Date Range Parameter - Includes the date range utilized for generating the analytics.


Community Sentiment Insights

The Community Sentiment Insights feature presents a horizontal bar chart that visually represents the themes with the strongest support. Each idea within a theme is evaluated on a sentiment scale from 1 to 10, reflecting its positive, negative, or neutral strength. The overall sentiment intensity for each theme is derived from the aggregated sentiment scores.

Sentiment Scores: Each idea is evaluated on a scale of 1 to 10 across the ten established themes, determining the extent to which the idea aligns with or opposes the theme. A score of 1 indicates a strong opposition to the theme, whereas a score of 10 reflects full alignment with it. The score of each idea is then aggregated to derive the Sentiment score. 

The X-axis of the graph represents the sentiment score, measured on a scale of 1 to 10, while the Y-axis displays the corresponding themes.



Hovering over each bar will reveal three ideas that support the theme, as well as three ideas that oppose it. Admin/moderator can click on these idea titles to navigate to the idea details page.



The download icon on the right will export an Excel file with the following details:

1. Theme - Lists each idea strength dimension.
2. Sentiment Score -
Includes the score of each theme on a scale of 1 to 10.
3. Supporting Idea URL - Includes the URLs of the ideas that support the theme, with three separate columns provided for each supporting idea URL.
4. Opposing Idea URL - Includes the URL of the ideas that oppose the theme, with three separate columns provided for each opposing idea URL.
