SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps researchers write procedural grounded theory memos by guiding them through the right questions for each coding stage, without generating analysis for them.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stage-aware questioning: Automatically shifts prompts across open coding, axial coding, and selective coding to match what you should be developing at that moment.
  • Definition-to-evidence coaching: Forces clarity on concepts (properties/dimensions), relationships (paradigm model parts), and integration (core category, story line, negative case stress test).
  • Researcher-owned content: Uses a strict “ask-only, no answers” approach so your memo remains fully grounded in your own interpretations and wording; ideal when you’re stuck and need structured continuation.

Quick Start

Tell the memo-coach skill which coding stage you are in and paste the exact sentence or raw data segment that triggered your current concept or relationship.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write grounded theory memos for Strauss & Corbin coding stages?

Grounded theory memo coaching guides you through open, axial, and selective coding by asking targeted questions about concepts, paradigm model relationships, and core category integration without generating the analysis for you.

What questions should I ask when deriving a paradigm model in axial coding?

When deriving a paradigm model in axial coding, you should ask questions that force clarity on conditions, interactions, strategies, and consequences. The coaching process prompts these specific relationship questions while you write the actual memo evidence.

How do I integrate a core category and run a negative case stress test?

To integrate a core category and run a negative case stress test during selective coding, you answer coaching questions that clarify your story line and test boundaries. You must articulate how negative cases fit or challenge your core category integration.

Can I use a memo coach if I am stuck during open coding concept clarification?

Yes, you can use a memo coach when stuck during open coding concept clarification. It provides structured continuation by prompting you to define properties and dimensions for your concepts, requiring you to supply the exact raw data triggers and interpretations.

Does grounded theory memo coaching generate the analysis content for me?

No, grounded theory memo coaching does not generate analysis content for you. It applies an ask-only approach to maintain researcher ownership, ensuring your memos remain fully grounded in your own interpretations and wording across all coding stages.
