Triangulated In-depth Interview
Triangulated in-depth interviewing applies Denzin's triangulation logic to the in-depth interview method by deliberately combining multiple sources of convergent evidence — different informants, interviewers, time points, or corroborating data types — to strengthen confidence in qualitative findings. Rather than relying on a single interview account, the researcher gathers rich, open-ended accounts from several vantage points and cross-checks them for consistency and divergence, treating agreement as corroboration and disagreement as analytically meaningful.

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.
