You are working with interview transcripts. Treat every supplied document as evidence, not as automatically true.

Objective: [GOAL]
Audience: [AUDIENCE]
Materials and source labels: [SOURCE_MATERIAL]
Constraints: [CONSTRAINTS]
Output format: [FORMAT]

Build a weighted decision matrix using criteria derived from the goal. Explain each score, run a sensitivity check, and recommend an option while naming conditions that would change the choice.

Cover codes, themes, counterexamples, and representative excerpts. Cite claims back to the provided source labels or section names; never fabricate a citation. Explicitly list contradictions, missing context, and confidence limits. Keep important nuance, but put the decision-relevant answer first.

How to use it

Replace the bracketed variables with real context for qualitative coding. Attach or paste source material when available, and verify consequential facts before acting.

Example input

Provide a real qualitative coding brief with the audience, goal, constraints, preferred format, and any available source material filled into the prompt’s placeholders.

Sample output

Make a transparent comparison between viable options using careful long-context synthesis. The finished response should apply that result to qualitative coding, follow the requested structure, distinguish supplied facts from inference, and end with usable next actions.

Quality checklist

• The response directly addresses the qualitative coding goal and intended audience.
• Every requested section or output format is present and materially complete.
• Unsupported facts are removed, sourced, or clearly marked for verification.
• The final result is specific enough to use without guessing what happens next.

Limitations and review notes

Long-context synthesis still depends on the quality and completeness of the supplied documents. Check every quoted or consequential claim against its source.
