Checklist
Thematic analysis quality checklist
Six checks drawn from Braun and Clarke's 15-point checklist for good thematic analysis: accurate transcripts, equal attention to every data item, themes that are patterns rather than restated questions, interpretation rather than description, a balance of narrative and quotes, and enough time for each phase. Use it before you share findings with your team. Koji drafts first codes and theme suggestions from your interviews, and these checks still apply to the themes you keep.
