Expanding beyond binary sentiment polarity, each customer submission is parsed using a standardized intent-classification matrix to isolate specific consumer behavioral drivers. Over the trailing 12-month period, Complaint indicators — including reported defects, unmet expectations, and negative experience reports — constitute the dominant intent segment, accounting for 61% of all reviews (1,464 reviews). Conversely, Praise indicators register at 30% (726 reviews), marking the residual advocacy base.
