Qualitative saturation analysis reads synthesis matrices and project memos to determine if a research corpus has stabilized. It provides a non-numeric stop-signal recommendation on whether to keep gathering sources or move to synthesis, leaving the final decision to human judgment.

Research saturation is reached when qualitative judgment over your synthesis matrix and memos shows the corpus has stabilized. This check provides a disciplined, non-numeric stop-signal recommendation indicating whether to end source capture and move to synthesis.

Qualitative saturation analysis evaluates synthesis matrices and project memos without forcing numeric thresholds. It applies by-eye judgment to check stop-signal phrasing and determine if the corpus has stabilized, returning a practical recommendation to keep gathering or move to synthesize.

Yes, qualitative saturation analysis determines when to stop collecting sources by reading synthesis matrices and memos to check if the corpus has stabilized. It provides a stop-signal recommendation without counters or phase changes, leaving the final decision to the researcher.

No, saturation analysis does not automatically change your research project phase. It only performs a qualitative read of synthesis matrices and memos, optionally writing a verdict status note to overview.md without applying counters, scores, or phase changes.

Qualitative saturation analysis avoids numeric scores to prevent premature phase changes and forced thresholds. It relies on by-eye judgment over synthesis matrices and memos to provide a disciplined, non-numeric stop-signal recommendation about whether to move to synthesis.
