Analysis

Your workshop analysis and summary, explained

A workshop analysis and summary explained: the four parts RoomRadar can generate from your transcripts, and what each one is for.

RoomRadar records every table's conversation at once, then turns the combined transcripts into a workshop analysis and summary, themes across groups, quotes, and a facilitator-ready report, built automatically once a session ends. An analysis is not one document. It is a set of parts you choose, each built from the same transcripts but shaped for a different use: reading, presenting, or skimming for the headline points.

The four parts of an analysis

When you create an analysis, you pick which parts to generate. There are four:

  • Text, a written summary of the discussion, laid out as an editable document.
  • Insight report, key themes, questions and takeaways, organized as cards.
  • Presentation, a slide deck of the results, ready to edit and export.
  • Sketchnote, a hand-drawn visual summary of the workshop.

Text: the written summary

The text part reads the full transcript and writes it up as a structured document, headings, paragraphs, and lists you can read start to finish. It opens in an editor: use Edit to change wording directly, or Export to save it as a Word document. This is the part to reach for when someone needs a plain, shareable write-up rather than a dashboard.

Insight report: themes, quotes, and takeaways

The insight report breaks the workshop into cards, themes, open questions, and recommendations, pulled from what was actually said across your tables. Each card can carry real quotes anchored back to the transcript, so you can click through to see exactly who said what and when. This is the part built for scanning: what came up most, where groups agreed or split, and what to act on next.

Presentation: slides for a debrief

The presentation part turns the analysis into a slide deck, a title slide, theme slides, and a closing summary, all editable like any other deck: move text and image elements, add or duplicate slides. Export it as PDF or PPTX to bring the results into your own stakeholder deck. For running it live in a room, see present your results.

Sketchnote: the visual summary

The sketchnote is a single hand-drawn-style image that maps the workshop's themes visually, useful as a one-glance recap to drop into a report or share on a wall, when a wall of text will not get read.

The four analysis parts shown as tabs: insight report, text, presentation, and sketchnote
Each selected part gets its own tab in the analysis workspace.
You do not have to choose just one. Select every part you need when you create the analysis, each becomes its own tab, and they all read from the same underlying transcripts, so themes stay consistent between your text summary and your slides.
Every analysis also gets a chat, whatever parts you selected. Use it to ask questions about the results or request edits, see chat with your analysis.

Creating an analysis

1
Open Analyses
From the home hub, go to Analyses and choose Create analysis.
2
Choose sources
Pick one or more workshop conversations to base the analysis on. Ladda upp en fil attaches a document, and Lägg till text opens a box you can type or paste text into, notes from a flip chart, an agenda, minutes someone else took.
3
Link groups (only with several meetings)
If you picked more than one conversation, a Länka grupper step appears so you can mark which tables are the same group across sessions. Matching names are linked for you; see combine several meetings into one analysis.
4
Pick your parts
Choose which of the four parts to generate, text, insight report, presentation, sketchnote. Turn on all of them, or just the ones you need.
5
Generate
Confirm to start generation. Each part appears as a tab and fills in as it finishes, you do not have to wait for all of them together.

Read the analysis for one group at a time

Under the version in the left sidebar there is a group picker, set to Alla grupper (all groups) by default. Open it and tick the groups you want, and the whole workspace narrows to them: the insight report's themes, signals and quotes, the airtime and word counts, the topic heatmap, the word cloud and the conversational tone curve all redraw for that selection.

This is instant and free. Nothing is regenerated, because the analysis already records which group each theme, quote and measurement came from, so narrowing it is only a matter of leaving the rest out. Percentages are recalculated against the groups you picked, so airtime still adds up to 100%.

Two parts cannot be filtered, because each is one continuous piece written about a specific set of groups: the presentation and the sketchnote. Open the presentation with a selection active and it builds a deck for those groups. Change the selection while you are already looking at the deck and it waits for you to press generate instead, so trying out selections never costs you a deck each time. The sketchnote always waits for its generate button. Both are stored per selection, so your full-workshop deck and sketchnote stay exactly as they were, and going back to a selection you already generated is instant.

The report's opening summary is left whole. It was written about the entire workshop and there is no per-group version of it, so a line on the report's toolbar says which groups you are looking at rather than letting the two read as the same thing.

The text part and the chat both follow the selection too. The written document is rebuilt from the groups you picked (the stored one covers the whole workshop, so it is set aside while a selection is active, and editing is paused until you go back to all groups). The chat answers only from the selected groups, including when it digs into the transcripts, and changing the selection mid-conversation just changes what the next answer draws on, it never starts a new chat.

FAQ

Do I have to generate all four parts every time?

No. Pick only what you need, a quick insight report for yourself, or the full set including a presentation and sketchnote for a stakeholder debrief. You can add more sources to an analysis later, too.

Can multiple workshop conversations feed one analysis?

Yes. An analysis can be built from more than one conversation, so you can combine several tables or several sessions into a single workshop summary with themes across all of them.

Can I look at just one group's results?

Yes. Use the group picker under the version in the left sidebar. Everything except the presentation and the sketchnote redraws instantly for the groups you tick, with all percentages recalculated against that selection.

Does filtering to a few groups change the analysis?

No. It is a view filter. Nothing is regenerated, nothing is saved over, and switching back to all groups restores the full picture immediately.

What happened to the post-it wall and mind map?

Both are retired. The post-it wall is no longer shown on any analysis, old ones included. Use the text part instead, it covers the same ground as a written, editable document.
