A qualitative framework for data collection and analysis in Participation processes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Participation processes (PPs) are more and more requested in different areas given their capability to promote constructive exchange and innovative ideas and to bring a great value to decision-making processes. PPs aim to generate new data that decision-makers can consider and transform into relevant knowledge to support their decision-making processes. In some cases, collecting data could be problematic since stakeholders might lack willingness, capacity and/or suitable means to participate. In other cases, PPs might generate a large amount of data to be analyzed and scrutinized. At the same time, PPs are subject to time-effectiveness pressures to provide timely reports. Based on a case study and using the grounded theory method, we propose in this paper a qualitative framework to guide data collection and analysis in PPs in order to better inform decision-makers.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
