Thematic analysis (codebook)

Organise codes into themes — patterns of meaning you build above the codes.

Seminal reference: Braun & Clarke (2006)

Verbatim supports Thematic analysis (codebook) 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.
