What is the difference between Track A and Track B?

Track A is Theory-Informed, designed for researchers with existing frameworks they want to apply. Track B is Data-First, suited for inductive projects where patterns emerge from the data before engaging with theory.

Does this skill work with mixed methods projects?

Yes, it is designed to handle the qualitative strand of mixed methods research, integrating with project.yaml to manage transcripts and coding outputs.

How does it help with academic writing?

The skill organizes findings into a quote database and automatically dispatches study details to a methods-writer skill to generate publication-ready Methods sections.

What qualitative standards does the skill follow?

It draws on established frameworks from Gerson & Damaske, Lareau, and Small & Calarco, focusing on cognitive empathy, heterogeneity, and evidence palpability.
