Triangulated Semi-structured Interview
A triangulated semi-structured interview strategy combines the flexibility of open-ended, guided interviewing with deliberate triangulation across multiple informant groups, data sources, or interview occasions. By applying the same semi-structured protocol to different participant perspectives — such as clients, providers, and managers — or by pairing interviews with documents and observations, the approach cross-validates emerging themes and reduces the risk that any single viewpoint dominates the findings. The result is richer, more credible qualitative data than a single-source interview study can deliver.

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.
