Test Results
Quote Extraction Test
✓ 21 quotes extracted from HCP transcript
✓ 18 quotes extracted from Patient transcript
✓ Top scores: 1.00 (maximum impact)
✓ 14 themes identified and categorized
✓ Deduplication working correctly
✓ Score calculation validated
Quote Quality
- High Impact Quotes (>0.80): Contain numbers, emotional language, causal reasoning
- Medium Impact Quotes (0.60-0.80): Contain specifics or comparisons
- Low Impact Quotes (<0.60): Generic statements (filtered out)
Sample Best Quotes
- HCP (Score: 1.00): "I've switched at least 15 patients to their product line specifically because of this program."
- Patient (Score: 1.00): "They started me on methotrexate pills. I took them once a week. Honestly, they made me feel terrible. I was nauseous for 2-3 days after each dose."

What You Get Now
Before (Academic Style):
Summary of Findings
10 out of 12 participants (83%) mentioned reimbursement challenges.
Strong Consensus Findings:
- Prior authorization is a common barrier
After (Market Research Style):
Executive Summary
THE HEADLINE: Prior authorization delays are creating a 6-month sales
cycle gap and pushing HCPs toward competitor products with faster approvals.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Reimbursement Barrier: 10 of 12 HCPs (83%) cite prior authorization as
their #1 prescribing barrier → Your sales team needs patient assistance
resources during the 4-6 week approval window → Launch patient bridge
program (IMMEDIATE)
As one oncologist noted: "By the time insurance approves, the patient's
cancer has often progressed to the point where we need more aggressive options."

- Identify Phase 2 enhancement priorities
Known Limitations & Workarounds
Limitation 1: Quote Extraction Depends on Formatting
Issue: Works best with speaker labels or quotation marks Workaround: Transcripts without formatting will have fewer quotes extracted Future: Add pattern learning to adapt to various formats
Limitation 2: LLM May Not Always Use All Quotes
Issue: LLM decides which quotes to include (typically 4-6 of 15 provided) Workaround: This is intentional - LLM selects most relevant quotes Future: Add explicit quote placement instructions for critical quotes
Limitation 3: Visual Elements PDF-Only
Issue: Word/HTML versions have simpler formatting Workaround: Generate PDF for client deliverables, Word for internal editing Future: Add rich formatting to Word documents
Support & Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Q: No quotes extracted from my transcripts
A: Check if transcripts have speaker labels (HCP:) or quotation marks ("quote"). Run test_quotes_simple.py with your file to diagnose.
Q: Low quote impact scores (<0.50) A: Transcripts may lack emotional language, numbers, or specifics. This is normal for very clinical/technical interviews.
Q: Reports still too academic A: Ensure you're using the Narrative Report tab (Tab 2) with a report style selected. Tab 1 provides basic analysis.
Q: Visual elements not showing A: Verify ReportLab is installed. HTML version will always work as fallback.
