How public material becomes a research claim
Every step adds analytical value and removes some of the original field. The final sentence should carry the boundary with it.
| Stage | What becomes visible | What remains missing |
|---|---|---|
| Experience | What happens inside the branded space | People who never enter, return or speak |
| Public post | A user's chosen description of the experience | Silent users and private interpretations |
| Searchable archive | Material that can be found and retained | Deleted, unindexed or inaccessible material |
| Selected corpus | Material chosen for the research question | Everything outside the case and selection rule |
| Coded theme | Language interpreted through a codebook | Meaning that the codebook fails to notice |
| Published claim | A sentence the researcher is willing to defend | The uncertainty removed by compression |
