βœ“ Deduplication working correctly
βœ“ Score calculation validated
```
### Quote Quality

### Sample Best Quotes
1. **HCP (Score: 1.00):** "I've switched at least 15 patients to their product line specifically because of this program."
2. **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:
β€’ Reimbursement Barrier: 10 of 12 HCPs (83%) cite prior authorization as
their #1 prescribing barrier β†’ Your sales team needs patient assistance
resources during the 4-6 week approval window β†’ 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."
```

## 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.
