How statory works

Qualitative — words and texts

1. 

   ① The qualitative home (/qual) is the entrance — skim your material in 3 minutes with "Taste ⚡2", or go "Formal" and walk the steps of a method. The formal side is what goes into a paper.

2. 

   ② Pick one of six methods — phenomenology, grounded theory, CQR, narrative, text & discourse, sociometry. Unsure? "Which method fits?" takes you to the selection guide.

3. 

   ③ Follow the step guide of your method — each step says what to do, and "Why this order?" opens the matching guide chapter. AI helps up to candidates and drafts; confirmation is always yours.

4. ④ Results come as theme structures, evidence excerpts, and (per method) relation maps or frequency tables — every confirmed result carries excerpts that actually exist in the source.

5. ⑤ Export — three paper-ready tables (theme structure, quotations, CQR frequency) plus the analysis-process summary. Your coding history, memos, and consensus records become the audit trail.
