The honest read

This is a well-scoped data transformation task with clear inputs, defined output columns, and deterministic logic for most steps. The main soft spot is the sentiment keyword extraction from free text, which requires a judgment call on keyword selection methodology, but that's manageable with a reasonable prompt or library. Error cost is low since the output is a CSV for human review before any downstream decisions.

The five dimensions

Repeatability

High

The transformation logic is structurally identical for every row: derive segment from Q3-Q5, average Q12-Q18, extract keywords from open-ended fields. This is a deterministic pipeline that can be scripted and rerun on any future survey export with minimal changes.

Ambiguity Tolerance

Medium

The numeric columns and respondent_id are fully specified, but 'segment derived from Q3-Q5' and 'extracted sentiment keywords' leave room for interpretation — the segmentation logic and keyword extraction method need to be defined or inferred. A human should confirm the segmentation rules before the agent runs.

Data & Tool Availability

High

The agent needs only the raw CSV export, which the user already has. Standard Python libraries (pandas, nltk, or a lightweight LLM call) are sufficient to execute every step without external API dependencies or special permissions.

Error Cost

Low

The output is a CSV for pivot analysis — a human will review it before drawing conclusions. Mistakes are visible and reversible; no irreversible action or financial/legal consequence follows directly from a flawed transformation.

Human Judgment Required

Low

Arithmetic averaging and keyword extraction are mechanical. The only judgment call is how to define segment buckets from Q3-Q5, which a human should specify upfront but doesn't need to be involved in execution once defined.

What an agent would need

  • Access to the raw Qualtrics CSV export with all 1,400 rows and 47 columns
  • A clear segmentation rule or lookup table mapping Q3-Q5 answer combinations to segment labels
  • Specification of the keyword extraction method (e.g., top N nouns, sentiment-tagged terms, or LLM-extracted themes) for the three open-ended columns
  • Python environment or equivalent with pandas and an NLP library (e.g., spaCy, NLTK, or OpenAI API) available
  • Column name mapping or data dictionary so the agent can reliably identify Q3-Q5, Q12-Q18, and the open-ended question columns
