Resumo	The Constant Comparative Method (CCM) is a systematic qualitative analysis procedure in which every newly coded incident is immediately compared with all previously coded incidents in the same category. Introduced by Glaser and Strauss in their 1967 grounded theory framework, CCM drives theory development by cycling continuously between data collection and analysis, progressively refining categories until theoretical saturation is reached. Though closely associated with grounded theory, the method has been widely adopted as a stand-alone analytic strategy across qualitative traditions.	Content analysis is a systematic research technique for reducing text, visual, or media material into coded categories so that patterns can be counted, compared, and interpreted. Formalised by Klaus Krippendorff in his widely cited methodology textbook (latest edition 2018), the method sits at the boundary of qualitative and quantitative inquiry: it imposes structured, replicable coding on inherently meaning-laden material.
