Turn expert interviews into client-ready decks
Sagien extracts the insights, quotes, metrics, and themes from your interview transcripts, then builds the presentation and the working documents around it. Every claim stays traceable to who said it.
Built for CDD firms, market research teams, and advisory practices.

[00:14:51] Interviewer: Six weeks? Including the data layer?
[00:14:54] Expert: Including everything. The contract renewals are the only real lock-in, and those roll over every 18 months…
Competitive Moat · Slide 4 of 18
Switching costs are overstated: real lock-in is contractual, not technical
- Full migration completed in 6 weeks, including data layer
- Contract renewals cycle every 18 months, limiting retention leverage
“The switching costs are way lower than management believes.”

The pipeline
Five stages from transcripts to deliverables
Each stage runs automatically and hands off to the next. You review and steer at every step; Sagien does the assembly.
Stage 01
Ingest
Upload transcripts as TXT, DOCX, or PDF, straight from your call platform or expert network. AI cleaning normalizes speaker labels. Metadata and summaries load automatically.
Stage 02
Structure
Sagien drafts the research framework for your study: the sections every interview is read against. Edit the sections, add your own, or have Sagien draft from your outline. This becomes the skeleton of the final deck.
Stage 03
Extract
Structured notes, attributed quotes, metrics, and named entities for every section, pulled from each interview in the project.
Stage 04
Synthesize
Cross-interview syntheses show where experts agree and where they contradict each other, section by section.
Stage 05
Present
Slide plans, drafted slides, and a consolidated presentation with automated quality checks. The deck and the working documents export from one place.
The platform around the pipeline
What the work needs before, during, and after the analysis.
Prepare
Interview guides
Draft a structured interview guide from your research topics and export it to Word before fieldwork starts.
Analyze
Evidence traceability
Every insight, metric, and table cell keeps its verbatim quote, source interview, and confidence score.
Analyze
Gap coverage
Fill Missing Insights finds the section and interview pairs you have not processed yet and runs only those. No duplicate work, no missed interviews.
Analyze
Anonymization
Six attribution formats, from full name to initials to fully anonymized, applied consistently across every export.
Deliver
Charts from source data
Chart values come from the extracted metrics, computed in code. The AI never invents a chart value.
Deliver
Quality audit
Every presentation build checks its own claims against the evidence before you see the deck.
Deliver
Export Center
PPTX decks, Word reports, section summaries, and Excel matrices, ready to send.
Deliver
Your brand
Set your colors and fonts once. Previews, PPTX, Word, and Excel all match.
Scale
Team workspaces
Separate workspaces per firm with role-based permissions, shared projects, and central administration.

Beyond the deck
The numbers and the names, structured
Interviews are full of metrics and entities that never survive note-taking. Sagien captures both across every transcript, with a verbatim quote behind every value.
Metric trends
Every number your experts said, charted
Sagien harvests the quantitative claims from each interview: costs, timelines, adoption rates, headcounts. It normalizes the units and clusters them into cross-interview trends.
- Consensus separated from contested, with who diverges and why
- Stats and chart values computed from the source data, never written by AI
- Single-source claims flagged before they reach a slide
- Chart-ready trends flow straight into your presentation
Time & Efficiency · 3 trend groups
Onboarding drops from weeks to days
Consensus · 4 sources“We cut onboarding from three weeks to about four days.” · Interview 4
Entity list · Competitors named in interviews
| Company | Strengths | Why they lose |
|---|---|---|
| NorthPeak | Deep ERP integrations; entrenched at enterprise accounts | Slow deployment cycles; pricing opacity |
| Fielder | Fast onboarding praised by mid-market buyers | Thin analytics; churn at renewal |
| Braxton | Lowest cost per seat in every comparison | No compliance certifications |
Entity lists
You define the columns. AI finds the rows.
Competitor matrices, use-case inventories, stakeholder personas: all built from every interview in the project. Sagien discovers the entities your experts mentioned, merges duplicates, and fills each cell with quote-backed findings.
- Click any cell to see the exact quotes behind it
- New interviews enrich the list without touching your edits
- Add a column later and existing rows backfill from evidence already collected
- Export to Excel or append as reference slides in any deck
For engagement leads
The same process, every project
Sagien turns interview analysis into a method your whole team can run. The pipeline is identical on project one and project one hundred, so output quality stops depending on who does the work.
Repeatable
Five stages, the same on every project. New analysts follow the process instead of reinventing it, and their first deck looks like their fiftieth.
Consistent
Evidence rules and automated quality checks hold every deliverable to the same bar. The QC audit runs on every build, not just the ones someone remembers to check.
Visible
Role-based permissions, shared projects, and central administration keep leads in control of the work. Team plans add usage reporting for spend visibility.
