This is like giving your marketing team special glasses that color each customer by how they feel about your brand—happy, neutral, or unhappy—and then grouping similar colors together so you can treat each group differently.
Companies struggle to treat different types of customers appropriately because they only use basic demographics or purchase history; they miss how customers actually feel. This approach segments customers using their expressed sentiment (e.g., in reviews or social media) so marketing, service, and product teams can respond in a more targeted way.
Not inherently moaty; defensibility would come from proprietary labeled sentiment data at scale, integration into core CRM/marketing workflows, and long historical logs of customer text data tied to business outcomes (churn, LTV).

Label quality and domain adaptation for sentiment models; handling high-volume, noisy text streams (e.g., social media) while keeping clusters stable and business-interpretable.

Unlike traditional customer segmentation that relies mainly on demographics or transactional RFM metrics, this approach builds segments directly from how customers talk and feel (sentiment) in text. The differentiation is the fusion of sentiment analysis with clustering to create emotion/attitude-based segments that can change over time as customer opinion shifts.
