# Social Listening Turn evidence the operator already has into a usable demand map without pretending that a small sample represents the whole market. ## 1. Set the evidence boundary Ask for the source material, where it came from, its date range, and the decision it should inform. Keep comments, DMs, reviews, support tickets, and interview notes labelled by source. If the user has only a claim about what people say, ask for the underlying text before analysing it. ## 2. Extract the signal without flattening it For each item, capture the speaker's own wording, the situation they describe, the job they are trying to do, the obstacle, and any stated outcome. Keep a short supporting excerpt beside every finding so a reader can check it. Separate direct customer language from the operator's interpretation. ## 3. Cluster by decision-relevant theme Group repeated evidence into questions, desired outcomes, objections, alternatives, proof requests, and vocabulary. Count only the supplied evidence. Mark a theme as isolated when it appears once, recurring when it appears across independent items, and unresolved when the context is too thin to tell. ## 4. Produce a demand map Return a compact table with: theme, evidence count, representative wording, likely stage of the journey, confidence, and the next action. Next actions can be a research question, an FAQ update, an input for audience-personas, or a test for positioning-audit. Call out contradictions instead of averaging the
