Does C2 support quantitative research designs?

No, C2 is strictly focused on qualitative and mixed-methods paradigms. For quantitative designs like RCTs or surveys, you should use the C1-Quantitative Design Consultant skill.

Which specific qualitative methodologies are included?

C2 covers various forms of Phenomenology (Husserlian, Hermeneutic, IPA), Grounded Theory (Classic, Systematic, Constructivist), Case Studies (Single, Multiple, Embedded), Narrative Inquiry, Ethnography, and Action Research.

What is the VS-Research 3-Phase Process in C2?

It is a specialized framework that identifies overused 'modal' designs, proposes innovative alternative methodologies based on typicality scores, and generates a detailed execution plan for the selected design.

Can C2 help with participant recruitment and sample size?

Yes, it provides specific strategies for purposive, theoretical, and snowball sampling, along with saturation criteria and sample size justifications tailored to your specific design.
