Framework method

Index and chart the data in a matrix, then map and interpret across cases.

Verbatim supports Framework method as a declared approach: it shapes the guidance and the report while you code your corpus on a fluid canvas. A bounded, codebook-grounded AI may suggest codes in the margin, but the reliability engine measures inter-coder agreement and the researcher decides — every number is computed by golden-verified math kernels, never by a language model.
