Collect and analyse data — step by step
Methodology is the heart of the “Execute” (E) phase of the CLEAR method. This is where you gather your data and analyse it. The assistant walks you through the approach and helps you structure and interpret — you do the analysis yourself. That keeps the work verifiably yours.
Interview & transcription
From guide to transcript: build interview questions around your research question, record the conversation and turn it into text. The transcript stays your file — the basis for coding.
- Build the guide
- Record
- Transcribe
- Keep as your own file
Coding & qualitative analysis
Build a category system and code transcripts or uploaded PDFs — with predefined codes and ones that emerge from the material. The assistant helps you organise; you decide which codes apply.
- Define codes
- Code the material
- Spot patterns
- Link the evidence
Quantitative analysis (Excel)
Structure and analyse your data in Excel: the assistant helps you pick the right measures and tests, understand the formulas and interpret results correctly — it explains rather than inventing numbers.
- Structure the data
- Choose measures
- Compute
- Interpret results
The method guides. You do the analysis.
Academic Mentor shows you the approach and asks the right questions — your interviews, your codes, your analysis. Every step feeds your Integrity Trail.
