OUR METHODOLOGY

A disciplined approach to complex questions.

Scientific rigor begins with selecting the appropriate methods for the question being investigated. Our research process combines structured planning, multidisciplinary expertise, responsible execution, and independent interpretation.

01 / THE RESEARCH LIFECYCLE

A considered process.
A defensible outcome.

01

Discovery & Feasibility

Define the scientific question, research objectives, operational context, and preliminary feasibility.

02

Design & Planning

Develop appropriate methodologies, protocols, outcome measures, population strategies, and analytical plans.

03

Governance & Ethics

Establish relevant ethical, regulatory, documentation, and research oversight requirements.

04

Execution & Oversight

Coordinate research activities, investigators, data collection, and operational quality controls.

05

Analysis & Interpretation

Analyze results using appropriate statistical, qualitative, or multidisciplinary methodologies.

06

Reporting & Dissemination

Prepare scientifically defensible reports, scholarly communications, or other research outputs suited to the engagement.

Each engagement draws on the stages appropriate to its objectives. Not every project requires all six stages or proceeds to publication.

02 / CONTEXT-TO-ACTION FRAMEWORK

Understanding
evidence in context.

Some research questions benefit from integrating multiple forms of evidence.

TEXTA’s Context-to-Action Framework provides an approach for considering empirical measurement, subjective experience, and expert interpretation together when appropriate.

By examining relationships between measurable outcomes, participant experiences, and contextual factors, investigators may develop a more comprehensive understanding of a particular intervention or phenomenon.

01

Empirical

What can be objectively measured?

02

Subjective

What is experienced or reported?

03

Interpretive

How should findings be scientifically contextualized?

03 / SCIENTIFIC JUDGMENT

The method must
serve the question.

No single investigative model is suitable for every field or research objective.

TEXTA’s approach emphasizes appropriate study design, validated measurement where available, disciplined analysis, and transparent interpretation.

Methods are selected according to the scientific question rather than a predetermined framework or preferred outcome.
