Methods Memo Studio.

The memo Veridanth ships with every coached data analysis — now a tool. Document what you did, why each design choice, what assumptions were checked, what's defensible at viva. Plus an Examiner mode that role-plays as an external examiner with the questions you don't want to be surprised by.

Each template ships with the blocks reviewers expect for that study design.
Blank memo
Build from scratch

One empty block. Build your own structure.

popular
Quantitative analysis
Regression / inferential statistics

Standard quantitative methods memo: question → data → variables → cleaning → analytic plan → assumption checks → sensitivity → limitations → reproducibility → defence prep.

Survey analysis
Cross-sectional surveys with weighting

Memo for survey-data analyses. Adds weighting, design effects, and item non-response sections.

popular
RCT / quasi-experimental
Randomised + quasi-experimental designs

CONSORT-aligned memo: trial design → randomisation → allocation → intention-to-treat → per-protocol → harms → defence prep.

Qualitative analysis
Thematic / framework / grounded-theory

Methods memo tuned for qualitative analyses: sampling, coding strategy, intercoder reliability, reflexivity, trustworthiness.

Mixed methods
Convergent / sequential mixed-methods studies

Memo covering both quantitative + qualitative arms with explicit integration strategy and joint-display description.

Machine learning
Predictive modelling / supervised ML

Memo tuned for ML pipelines: feature engineering, train/val/test split, leakage, hyperparameter tuning, fairness, calibration.

Time-series / panel
Time-series + panel-data designs

Memo for time-series and panel analyses: stationarity, fixed/random effects, autocorrelation, instrument choice.

Coach, not analyst-of-record

The AI coach uses ONLY the study context and existing block text you supply. It will never invent sample sizes, p-values, model coefficients or supervisor names. Specific numbers you haven't supplied become [bracketed placeholders] for you to fill in. Read the full policy.

Want the analysis coached too?

The Methods Memo is built into Data Analysis (Coached) — Professional (GHS 2,700). We run the analysis with you, ship the Methods Memo automatically, and rehearse the defence call before your viva.
