grounded-coding

Grounded theory coding on interview transcripts is processed through open coding, axial paradigm model analysis, and optional selective coding. The skill requires you to upload or provide a local file path to your qualitative text to generate structured coding outputs.

Applying axial coding and constant comparison across multiple interviews involves reusing and revising an existing coding table to build categories. This multi-interview accumulation ensures paradigm model relations are systematically refined across all qualitative data.

You can export qualitative coding results to Markdown and aggregated Excel formats using available scripts. Per-interview results are saved into Markdown files, and once multiple interviews are coded, an aggregated Excel spreadsheet can be generated.

You need to provide study context before starting open coding analysis, including the research field, topic, interviewee information, and interview order. Providing a previous coding table if applicable supports accurate constant comparison and category building.

Selective coding integrates a core category into a storyline by connecting axial paradigm model relations to the research question. This guides the generation of propositions and a cohesive narrative structure for final theory integration.
