Description

This Master Prompt focuses on systematically transforming interview data into defensible analytical findings while preserving an auditable relationship between participant evidence, coding decisions, categories, themes, conceptual development and final interpretation. It guides researchers from data familiarization and initial coding through code refinement, category construction, cross-interview comparison, identification of patterns and contradictions, theme or concept development, interpretive synthesis and presentation of findings. The central principle is that qualitative analysis should not be reduced to merely “finding themes”; rather, the analytical strategy must be selected and implemented in a manner consistent with the research questions, methodological position, data structure and intended form of knowledge.
