Template analysis

Begin with an a-priori template of codes and revise it iteratively as you code.

Seminal reference: King (2012)

Verbatim supports Template 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.
