Caplena’s AI Advanced Output (Phrase Extraction) shows you why each topic was assigned. It’s enabled by default for all projects using the LLM Model, at no additional cost.

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
For example, a response that says “I’ve always used Dodge vehicles, great performance, fuel goes a long way, and they always have lots of extra storage” gets assigned to Driving Characteristics → Mileage / Gas-saving, with the phrase “fuel goes a long way” highlighted. Hovering the topic shows the Topic Description (“This topic focuses on the vehicle’s fuel efficiency, including its gas mileage, consumption, and overall economy”) along with the reasoning: “Highlights the vehicle’s fuel efficiency.”

​
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

​
Availability

  • Enabled by default — no setup required. It applies automatically to all projects using the LLM Model.
  • Included at no extra charge — there’s no separate add-on to purchase.
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.
If you were already reviewing rows manually, Advanced Output makes that review faster: instead of reading the whole verbatim again, just check whether the highlighted phrase and reasoning actually support the assigned topic.
