# Feedback Service - MVP Documentation

**Version**: 2.0.0-MVP  
**Status**: ✅ Production Ready  
**Architecture**: Hybrid (Pattern + Semantic Analysis)

---

## 🎯 Overview

The Feedback Service provides professional feedback collection and analysis for AI agents, based on industry best practices from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok.

### Key Features

- ✅ **Hybrid Analysis**: Fast pattern-based + deep semantic (AI) analysis
- ✅ **Multi-Dimensional Scoring**: 8 dimensions (helpfulness, accuracy, clarity, safety, completeness, efficiency, engagement, relevance)
- ✅ **Implicit + Explicit Feedback**: User ratings and behavioral signals
- ✅ **Session Metrics**: Aggregated insights per conversation
- ✅ **Smart Escalation**: Pattern analysis first, AI when needed
- ✅ **Real-time Processing**: Immediate feedback analysis
- ✅ **Quality Grading**: Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor classifications

---

## 📦 Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```python
from src.services.feedback import get_feedback_service

# Get service instance
service = get_feedback_service()

# Process user feedback
event = await service.process_user_message(
    session_id="session_123",
    user_input="Thanks, that was very helpful!",
    ai_response="Glad I could help!",
    turn_id=5
)

# Check scores
print(f"Overall score: {event.scores.overall_score():.2f}")
print(f"Helpfulness: {event.scores.helpfulness:.2f}")
print(f"Sentiment: {event.sentiment.value}")

# Get session metrics
metrics = service.get_session_metrics("session_123")
print(f"Quality: {metrics.quality_grade}")
print(f"Average score: {metrics.average_score:.2f}")
print(f"Recommendations: {metrics.recommendations}")
```

### With Explicit Rating

```python
# User gives explicit 5-star rating
event = await service.process_user_message(
    session_id="session_123",
    user_input="5 stars! Excellent response",
    ai_response="Thank you!",
    turn_id=6,
    explicit_rating=1.0  # 5/5 = 1.0
)
```

### Configuration

```python
# Custom configuration
service = get_feedback_service({
    "use_semantic_analysis": True,    # Enable AI analysis
    "semantic_threshold": 0.5,         # Confidence threshold
    "analysis_model": "gpt-4"          # Model for semantic analysis
})
```

### Component Flow

```
User Message
     ↓
FeedbackCollector
     ↓
PatternAnalyzer (always runs - fast)
     ↓
Decision: Low confidence or explicit rating?
     ├─ No → Use pattern result
     └─ Yes → SemanticAnalyzer (AI) → Use better result
     ↓
FeedbackEvent (with scores)
     ↓
FeedbackAggregator
     ↓
SessionMetrics (with recommendations)
```

## 📊 Multi-Dimensional Scoring

All feedback is analyzed across 8 dimensions:

### Primary Dimensions (70% weight)
- **Helpfulness** (25%): How helpful was the response
- **Accuracy** (25%): Factual correctness
- **Clarity** (15%): Clear and understandable
- **Safety** (15%): Appropriate and harmless

### Secondary Dimensions (30% weight)
- **Completeness** (10%): Addressed all aspects
- **Efficiency** (5%): Concise and to-the-point
- **Engagement** (3%): Interesting and engaging
- **Relevance** (2%): On-topic and contextual

### Example Scores

```python
score = FeedbackScore(
    helpfulness=0.9,      # Very helpful
    accuracy=0.85,        # Quite accurate
    clarity=0.92,         # Very clear
    safety=1.0,           # Completely safe
    completeness=0.75,    # Mostly complete
    efficiency=0.8,       # Fairly concise
    engagement=0.88,      # Engaging
    relevance=0.9,        # Very relevant
    confidence=0.9        # High confidence in analysis
)

overall = score.overall_score()  # Weighted average: 0.87
```

## 🔍 Analysis Strategy

### Pattern Analysis (Always Runs)
- **Speed**: Instant (<1ms)
- **Method**: Keyword matching + rule-based logic
- **Confidence**: 0.3-0.9 depending on pattern matches
- **Use Case**: Real-time feedback during conversation

### Semantic Analysis (Escalation)
- **Speed**: 2-5 seconds (LLM call)
- **Method**: AI-driven semantic understanding
- **Confidence**: 0.7-1.0 with context
- **Trigger**: Low pattern confidence OR explicit rating provided

### Decision Logic

```python
# Always run pattern analysis
pattern_score = pattern_analyzer.analyze(event)

# Escalate to AI if:
needs_semantic = (
    pattern_score.confidence < 0.5 OR
    explicit_rating provided
)

if needs_semantic:
    semantic_score = await semantic_analyzer.analyze(event)
    use semantic_score if more confident
else:
    use pattern_score
```

## 📈 Session Metrics

Aggregated metrics provide session-level insights:

```python
class SessionMetrics:
    session_id: str
    total_turns: int                     # Total conversation turns
    average_score: float                 # 0.0-1.0
    quality_grade: str                   # excellent, good, fair, poor
    satisfaction_rate: float             # % of positive feedback
    dimension_averages: Dict[str, float] # Per-dimension averages
    score_trend: str                     # improving, declining, stable
    common_issues: List[str]             # Recurring problems
    recommendations: List[str]           # Actionable advice
```

### Example Output

```python
metrics = service.get_session_metrics("session_123")

# SessionMetrics(
#     session_id="session_123",
#     total_turns=10,
#     average_score=0.82,
#     quality_grade="excellent",
#     satisfaction_rate=0.85,
#     dimension_averages={
#         "helpfulness": 0.88,
#         "accuracy": 0.85,
#         "clarity": 0.90,
#         ...
#     },
#     score_trend="improving",
#     common_issues=[],
#     recommendations=[
#         "✅ Excellent quality maintained",
#         "⭐ Clarity is a strength (0.90)"
#     ]
# )
```

## 🎨 Feedback Types

### Explicit Feedback
- **Rating**: User ratings (thumbs, stars, 0-1 scale)
- **Comment**: User text feedback
- **Correction**: User corrects AI response
- **Complaint**: Issue reports

### Implicit Feedback (Future)
- **Regeneration**: User asks for new response
- **Edit**: User edits AI response
- **Copy**: User copies content
- **Abandonment**: User leaves mid-conversation
- **Timing**: Response time patterns
