Research · Verbatims

Code the new rows,
not all of them again.

A codeframe built by hand or auto-generated from the responses, coding run as a job you can watch and cancel, and — when the next wave lands — the ability to code only what is new rather than re-running everything.

Open ends are where research budgets go. Incremental coding is the difference between a tractable tracker and an unaffordable one.

The codeframe

Built, or generated.

Auto-generateFrom the responses themselves, as a starting point rather than a final answer.
Edit and keepCodeframes are records you refine, which is what makes a tracker comparable across waves.
Detect per fileWhich columns are open ends, so nobody has to identify them by eye.
The coding run

A job you can watch.

Jobs with statusRunning rather than blocking, so a large file does not freeze the screen.
CancelA job going the wrong way can be stopped rather than waited out.
Code new rows onlyFor the second wave, and the third — the feature that makes trackers viable.
Managing frames

Codeframes as reusable records.

Listed and retrievableFrames are records you reuse across waves rather than rebuild, which is the whole basis of a comparable tracker.
DeletableA frame that was a false start can be removed rather than living forever in a dropdown.
Detection per fileWhich columns are open ends, worked out rather than identified by eye on a wide file.

Wave two costs less than wave one.

Because only the new verbatims are coded.
