What are the limits of automated sentiment analysis for executive reporting?

The operational check uses human-reviewed examples with clear definitions and retains the underlying text. Errors should be examined by theme, entity, language, and severity where those differences matter. A neutral sentence describing a false criminal claim can carry more harm than strongly negative language about a minor product inconvenience.

A sentiment trend is only comparable while the sample and classification method remain sufficiently stable. Changing the classifier or prompt set can move the result without a new audience-facing event. The diagnostic output should show which claims drove the movement and whether they are accurate. That supports actual source work: correcting a false statement, adding missing context, or addressing a real issue. A color-coded score without examples can conceal precisely the information an ORM practitioner needs to decide what should change.
