2. METHODOLOGY CRIMSON HEXAGON
The Crimson Hexagon ForSight™ platform uses proprietary, patented, example-based, statistical classification to quantify the social media conversation in near real-time in most languages. It combines human judgment and computer automation to identify key themes, topics, and opinions on any given topic within the social media universe.
Crimson Hexagon measures, quantifies and tracks any topics or opinions that are being expressed online. Because our underlying technology is set up to replicate and amplify how a human analyzes the conversation, any online opinion or topic that can be identified and understood by human judgment, can be quantified by our platform. Therefore, any organizational question which is discussed online, can be tracked and measured by Crimson Hexagon.
Creating monitors within the Crimson Hexagon ForSight™ platform is a highly customizable, yet efficient process. The overall structure of the analysis is entirely user-defined, guided by the organization’s question at hand. Users can set up a Topics of Discussion, Basic Sentiment, Drivers of Sentiment, or Customer Segmentation monitor by adding new categories, grouping categories together, and changing category labels. The platform gives users the ability to export visual results, such as graphs, charts, topic wheel, sample posts, etc. as an image or into excel.

15. KEY TAKEAWAYS
Although complaints was a relatively small category at 7% when analysing the Commonwealth brand as a whole, another monitor was created to analyse these complaints in further detail.
The complaints monitor highlighted a significant proportion of the conversation referring to system problems such as system down, problems with netbank and problems with app. This would be expected, since social media users are typically high users of computer systems in general.
However, fees also stood out as a large proportion of the complaints conversation. These mentions referred to high fees in general, such as transfer fees and also compared Commonwealth Bank to other banks that don’t charge fees, such as the National Australia Bank.
Recommended next steps: create a monitor for competitors and compare categories against competitors.
