Need assistance from a Framework Analysis service?
Our Framework Analysis service (from £95) provides expert support for applied qualitative research with predefined research questions, such as dissertations, theses, policy studies, evaluations, and mixed-methods projects. Framework Analysis is particularly well suited to research that requires systematic comparison across cases and clear alignment between research questions and findings. We deliver a complete NVivo-style Framework Analysis report, including framework matrices, indexed data, cross-case comparisons, and full guidance on how to write up your methods and results.
Full NVivo-formatted Framework Analysis report
Including everything you need:
✔ Familiarisation aligned to your research questions
✔ Explicit analytic orientation (Framework Analysis – Ritchie & Spencer)
✔ Initial analytical framework linked directly to your RQs
✔ Fully indexed dataset aligned to the framework
✔ NVivo-style framework matrices (cases × categories)
✔ Cross-case and group comparison tables
✔ Pattern identification and explanatory synthesis
✔ Results and Methods chapter guidance (thesis/dissertation/article-ready)
✔ Guidance on how and where to use framework matrices in your write-up
✔ NVivo-style presentation for every output

Not sure which method you need?
If your study is exploratory and interview-led, Thematic Analysis may be more appropriate. If your focus is on systematic classification and frequency-based outputs, Content Analysis may be a better fit. Framework Analysis is ideal when you have clear research questions and need structured, comparable findings.
Fast, low-cost service
Framework Analysis is often chosen for applied research because of its clarity and structure—but learning how to implement it correctly in NVivo can be time-consuming. Many students and researchers spend weeks building frameworks, indexing data, and constructing matrices before they can even begin writing up results. Our Framework Analysis service removes this burden.
We aim to complete your Framework Analysis within 48 hours of receiving your dataset.
What types of projects use Framework Analysis?
- Dissertations and theses with predefined research questions
- Health, education, and policy research
- Evaluations and applied studies
- Mixed-methods projects (qualitative strand)
- Organisational or stakeholder research
Preparing your data document
Framework Analysis works best with structured qualitative data. Each case should be clearly identifiable, and responses should be organised by research question where possible. Please remove or anonymise any identifying information and submit your data in an editable format (Word, Excel, or CSV). Clear structure at this stage ensures accurate indexing and high-quality framework matrices.
Recommended formats:
- Interview data: one participant per case, clearly separated
- Survey data: one respondent per row, columns for each research question
- Document data: one document per file or clearly labelled sections
Does my data need proofreading or editing?
Your data does not need to be linguistically polished, but it must be accurate, complete, and consistently formatted. Framework Analysis depends on clear alignment between data and research questions, so please ensure responses are readable and correctly attributed to each case.
Finally, please indicate whether you are working with British (International) English or American English.
