  1. Interviews semi structured around areas of interest for phenomena under investigation.
  2. Analyse script from one interview.
  3. Open coding code word/ phrase.
  4. Does this match an existing code? If no, revise/ add code. If yes move to axial coding- group related codes into categories.
  5. Do categories work for all data?
  6. If no revise/ add categories. If yes move to consider if all categories are related to interview areas.
  7. If the answer to that is no, revise areas explored in interviews. If the answer is yes, move to consider if all the interview transcript has been coded.
  8. If no, return to open coding.
  9. If yes to that latter question carry on to to selective coding: group related categories into themes.
  10. Next consider is this coding generating new categories or themes? If yes expand data set via interviews.
  11. If no, data saturation has been achieved and project can proceed to articulate theme relationships to develop theory.
