Deliverables you can expect

We focus on outputs that examiners value and supervisors can assess quickly:

Annotated and coded Atlas.ti or NVivo project files
Comprehensive codebook with code definitions, inclusion/exclusion criteria and exemplar quotes
Thematic maps and visuals (code trees, matrices, network diagrams)
Export-ready tables of themes and illustrative quotations
Chapter drafts (methods and results) written in clear academic English
Step-by-step documentation of analytic decisions to support reproducibility

Typical timelines and data examples

Turnaround depends on dataset size and complexity. Typical timelines:

Small dataset (8–15 interviews): 2–3 weeks for full coding and thematic write-up
Medium dataset (20–40 interviews): 3–6 weeks including inter-coder reliability checks
Large dataset (50+ interviews or mixed methods): 6–12+ weeks with staged reporting

We adapt to your academic calendar—if you need a fast turnaround around submission deadlines, we prioritise clarity and reproducibility while maintaining rigorous analysis.

Quality is non-negotiable. Our analysts follow stringent protocols to ensure academic integrity:

Clear audit trails for coding decisions and theme development
Inter-coder checks and Cohen’s kappa where appropriate
Reflexive memos documenting researcher positionality and assumptions
Proper handling of sensitive or confidential data aligned with ethical approvals
