You'll know the thematic analysis is working when your next order isn't a shot in the dark. Watch for these signals:

• You can articulate why you chose a liquid (e.g., "we picked this because reviews repeatedly mention it's smooth, and our customers are mostly MTL users").
• You've avoided a product that looked great on paper but had recurring leak complaints across devices.
• Your stock includes a mix that matches your customer base's preferences, not just the highest-rated liquids.

A quick check: after you've applied the analysis to a few products, compare your sales to the themes you identified. If the liquids you predicted would perform well are selling, the fix is working. If not, tweak your filters.
