A template to analyse and present structured feedback

This is a generic template you can adapt to generate a report from structured free-text responses—for example, feedback from a training session, a survey of your research community, or open-ended questionnaire data (with appropriate ethics approval and anonymisation). You can try it using this synthetic dataset
