Project Summary

Valere Labs developed an NLP-driven platform that collects employer reviews across the web, computes sentiment scores, and visualizes results via charts and dashboards. The vendor built the system using open-source PHP and MySQL, added e-commerce subscription features, and supports daily scoring from RSS and other feeds. The client praised Valere Labs for strong communication, responsiveness, and a long-term collaborative approach.

Key Challenges

Collect data from across the web and ingest it into an AI/NLP tool.
Create sentiment scores for employers based on online reviews.
Provide time-based sentiment analysis to show how workers feel about a company at a given time.

Project Deliverables

Search interface for company queries
RSS feed ingestion and data pipelines
NLP integration to generate sentiment scores
Charting/dashboard showing daily sentiment scores
E-commerce subscription functionality and enhanced graphs

Project Solution

Valere Labs implemented a web-based NLP platform: they built a search interface to identify companies, integrated RSS feeds and other web data pipelines, processed content through an NLP/AI component to produce sentiment scores, and developed charting and dashboards that show daily scores (Mon–Fri). The tool was built using open-source PHP and MySQL. In a second phase they added e-commerce subscription functionality and more robust graphs (10-day vs. 90-day views). The engagement included a US-based liaison and offshore developers in India, coordinated via Upwork and Trello.

Project Outcome

Established a strong collaborative culture and consistent communication with the vendor.
Maintained the same developers throughout the project, improving continuity and coordination.
Reliable availability and responsiveness via Upwork and Trello for milestones and payment.
Vendor demonstrated ownership and willingness to provide occasional extra work free of charge.
