Interpretative phenomenological analysis

Read each case closely for lived experience, then pattern across cases.

Seminal reference: Smith, Flowers & Larkin (2009)

Verbatim supports Interpretative phenomenological analysis 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.
