Interpret evidence systematically and state limitations.
A transparent six-stage process
Stage 04
Analysis
Analysis turns evidence into findings through systematic, transparent reasoning. It separates what the evidence shows from how it is interpreted, considers alternative explanations, and states limitations openly.
Methods vary by project, but every approved study must make its question, evidence, analysis, limitations and review pathway clear. This stage is documented in the study so that readers and reviewers can follow the reasoning from start to finish.
