What problem does it solve? Doctoral learners often struggle to choose the right theoretical or conceptual framework and to connect it meaningfully to their research questions, methodology, and analysis, leaving Chapter 2 disconnected from the rest of the dissertation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Framework Identification: Surfaces candidate theories from the literature review, adjacent fields, and foundational works based on the study's core phenomenon. - Structured Evaluation: Assesses each candidate for fit, testability, precedent, and scope, then builds a three-part justification with citations. - Full Application Mapping: Connects the chosen framework to research questions, methodology, data collection instruments, analysis, and discussion, plus a draft 400-600 word framework section in APA style. - Use Case: A doctoral candidate studying nurse leadership asks which theory fits their study; the skill compares Transformational Leadership Theory and Servant Leadership Theory, recommends one with justification, and drafts the Chapter 2 framework section. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to help you identify and apply a theoretical framework for your dissertation topic, describing your core phenomenon and research questions.
