Analyzeに応じた directly modifies the following noun.
Response, neutral dependence, and active matching
に応じて presents an appropriate response to changing conditions. によって can simply say that a result varies depending on a factor, without anyone adjusting it. に合わせて highlights actively matching or coordinating one thing with another and is often more concrete and conversational.

Crop yields vary depending on the weather, but farmers adjust the amount of watering to match the crops' growth.
AnalyzeThe first relationship is neutral variation; the second describes deliberate coordination.
Choosing a natural input
The first noun should create meaningful alternatives: different ability levels, income bands, symptoms, requests, needs, or circumstances should lead to different responses. A merely random correlation does not normally fit.
