What it does
Advanced Output adds reasoning and phrase highlighting to every topic assignment, so you can see exactly which part of a response justified each topic — instead of just trusting the label. For each assigned topic, you get:- The highlighted phrase(s) in the original text that triggered the assignment
- Topic Description — a reminder of what the topic is meant to capture
- Reason for assignment — a short, specific explanation tying the highlighted phrase back to the topic
Why this matters
Without Advanced Output, you see what topic was assigned. With it, you see why — which makes it much faster to:- Spot-check AI accuracy without re-reading the full response
- Trust borderline assignments, since the reasoning shows exactly what the AI keyed off
- Refine topic descriptions, since a wrong or unclear reason often points directly at what to fix in the description
What changed
- Enabled by default — no setup required, it now applies automatically to all projects using the new LLM.
- No longer a paid add-on — previously optional/at cost, now included at no extra charge.
If translations are enabled on a project, Advanced Output is only calculated for the translated values, not the original source text. This is intentional — running it for both source and translated values would significantly increase LLM cost. If you expect to see highlighted phrases and reasoning on the source-language responses and don’t, check whether translations are enabled for the project.
