Simulation-assisted quantitative content analysis
Simulation-assisted quantitative content analysis (SA-QCA) extends classical quantitative content analysis by integrating computational simulation — typically Monte Carlo methods or agent-based models — to validate coding schemes, estimate coder reliability under controlled conditions, test category distinctiveness, and assess the robustness of frequency-based conclusions before or alongside the analysis of real text corpora. The method preserves the systematic, replicable counting logic of quantitative content analysis while adding a simulation layer that strengthens methodological rigour.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
