Statistically robust analysis of open-ended surveys, reviews, social comments and more. Full auditability, AI hallucination protection, and scalable.
LLMs make things up and miscount, even with prompt fine-tuning. Our hybrid pipelines - which combine the best of AI, symbolic reasoning and statistical models - protect from this.
Uncover themes with traceability and confidence scores. In benchmarking, we outperform leading reasoning models on accuracy of theme allocation, and match manual analysis accuracy.
Unlike LLMs, WholeSum's performance doesn't drop as data volumes increase. And for large datasets, you can integrate WholeSum into your existing platforms via our API.
Our analysis supports many verticals and industries, from software platforms to service providers, and education to employee engagement.

"The analyses you provided of the open ends, particularly the themes and summaries with key verbatim, were powerful. They enabled us to pull together a really compelling story for our client. We honestly believe we would not have gotten to the same place using more traditional methods of analysis, even with more time, especially given the volume of data."

"The report we got from your analysis of 25x lengthy interview transcripts was great. It also validated and matched the main themes that came out of your survey analysis. Pulling out quotes helped us animate the report and made it much more personal."
Our pipelines were built while crowdsourcing the world’s largest database of parenting experiences, turning thousands of words into digestible and engaging summaries each week.

Yes. Data processed by large language models is transmitted securely using encrypted connections in transit and at rest. No data is retained by LLM providers after processing.
AI tools generally rely solely on prompt engineering and model fine-tuning, which risks hallucinations and errors. WholeSum instead takes a quantitative approach, using LLMs alongside complementary technologies to deliver accuracy at scale.
We use a mix of large language models, algorithmic natural language, machine learning and statistical models to provide flexible, rich and reliable outputs and insights.
We design each step so that outputs can be reused in subsequent analysis. We can produce structured matrices to power your broader analysis, and we're working on predictable API endpoints that can be incorporated into dashboards, for example.
Whether it's deeper insights, cost efficiency or time saved, we'll help you give your valuable qualitative data the analysis it deserves.
