Key figure
Rapid vs thematic analysis: how much matched
From a head to head comparison of two qualitative methods on one dataset

The rapid findings covered 79% of the thematic findings, and rapid analysis took 100 hours against 126.5. Use it when deciding whether a rapid approach is good enough for your study.
