"Themes emerged" is the single least defensible sentence in qualitative research. Themes do not emerge; researchers construct them, through decisions that can be described. The job of analysis support is to make those decisions explicit and traceable.
We work in the approach your design calls for. Reflexive thematic analysis, following Braun and Clarke's six phases properly rather than as a citation. Framework analysis, where a matrix maps cases against themes — the workhorse for applied policy and evaluation work. Grounded theory, phenomenological and case-study analysis where the design demands them. Quantitative content analysis where you need counts and coding frequencies alongside the interpretation.
Whichever it is, you get the reasoning as well as the result: memos written as we went, the audit trail from extract to code to theme, and a candidate thematic map you can argue with before anything is written up.
What you receive
- A thematic map with defined, named themes and subthemes
- Illustrative extracts selected for each theme, with source references
- Analytic memos documenting how themes were developed and revised
- A framework matrix where framework analysis is used
- Frequency tables where content analysis is used
- A findings narrative you can adapt into your own chapter
How this service runs
- Send the brief — Email us the data type, the volume (audio hours or cases), your method if you have one, and the deadline. No form-filling marathon.
- Scope call & fixed quote — We come back with clarifying questions, then a written scope and a fixed price. NDA signed first if you'd rather talk under one.
- Analysis with checkpoints — You see the codebook or the analysis plan before we run the whole dataset — so the direction is agreed while it's still cheap to change.
- Delivery & walkthrough — Files, project files, syntax and write-up delivered together, plus a call to walk you through the reasoning. Revisions included.
Results chapters, journal papers, programme evaluations, and any dataset where you know what you saw but cannot yet defend it.
Services that usually run alongside this one
Transcription & translation
Verbatim or intelligent-verbatim transcripts with speaker labels and timestamps, from interviews, focus groups and field recordings. Translation into English with the source retained alongside.
Coding & codebook development
Inductive, deductive or hybrid coding built into a documented codebook — every code defined, with inclusion and exclusion criteria and an anchor quote you can point to.
Quantitative & statistical analysis
From cleaning and assumption checks through to the model your design actually calls for — with the syntax file, so a reviewer or supervisor can reproduce every number.
Send us the brief. Get a price.
One email with your data type, volume and deadline is enough for a fixed written quote — back with you within 1 business day, NDA first if you prefer.
Quote for thematic & content analysis
Email us a paragraph, or fill the brief on the right. Either way a real analyst reads it and replies within 1 business day — no sales sequence.
