Talk to a saved agent

Choose a stage or community to question its saved agent. Answers are new; the original research stays unchanged. How interviews work.

Where to start

You do not need to open every checkpoint. These seven mark where the analysis took shape. Each opens the saved agent at that moment; its record shows what it had done.

Across communities

1. 1 After the coding scheme was fixed (B4)

   The aggregator has settled the readers' disagreements and frozen the scheme of themes. Ask why a theme sits where it does. Its record.

2. 2 After the first population model (C5)

   The aggregator has written the integrated account, with its table, model and figure. Ask how the dimensions connect and where the account is weakest. Its record.

3. 3 After the final population model (D3)

   Every community coder has tested the model against its case, and the aggregator has revised it where the evidence supported a change. Ask what the return changed and what it refused. Its record.

4. 4 After the organizational forms were carved (D4)

   The aggregator has grouped the communities that asked for similar changes, which gave the six candidate forms. Ask why a community falls in one form and not another. Its record.

One community: r/PlaceNL

1. 1 After coding

   r/PlaceNL's coder has read every thread and written its codes, themes and case account. Ask how a code follows from the members' words. Its record.

2. 2 After building the local model (R6)

   Ask how the coder explains the organization of r/PlaceNL from its own case. Read its local model.

3. 3 After the second return (D3)

   The first population model went back to a copy of the coder at its coding close. At D3 that coder saw the revised population model. Ask whether the account of the canal houses now fits the evidence. Read both returns.
