## Understanding Sentiment Analysis

Sentiment analysis provides quantitative measures of public opinion and emotional response to topics, brands, or events. Modern approaches go beyond simple polarity to detect nuanced emotions, sarcasm, and context-dependent meaning. When combined with narrative intelligence, sentiment analysis reveals not just how people feel, but why those feelings are forming and how they're likely to evolve. This enables more sophisticated risk assessment and opportunity identification.
