Guides analysis and interpretation norms; it does not fabricate evidence or quotations.

- Reconciling interlocutors' statements with actions or pre-planned vs. emergent themes
- Making analysis transparent without exposing protected sources
- Preparing a comment-facing analysis ledger for CA Major Articles
- Documenting mixed-methods or computational procedures on field/archival data
When not to use
- Fabricating evidence or quotations
