Methods & Sampling
Choose a method and plan its sample from one shared context. The guidance changes with the type of evidence you need.
01
Set the learning goal, unit of study, time, budget, and field constraints.
02
Compare recommended methods and see where a survey, interview, discussion, or observation fits.
03
For probability surveys, review assumptions, rounding, and the invitation target. For qualitative work, plan purposive coverage without a false margin of error.
