Methea does

  • Suggests theories from a curated library
  • Builds your conceptual framework
  • Recommends a methodology chain with reasoning
  • Generates interview questions anchored to your framework
  • Codes transcripts and surfaces themes
  • Exports an annotated research scaffold

You write

  • Your discussion chapter
  • Your conclusion
  • Your final report
  • Your interpretation of findings
  • Your argument and voice

This distinction is what makes Methea a tool universities recommend instead of ban.

How it works

Three layers, one research thread

Every block builds on what came before. Change a theory and your methodology updates. Change a framework concept and your interview questions update.

01

Plan

Upload your brief. Methea suggests theories, builds your conceptual framework, and derives a complete methodology chain — each step with a plain-English "why."

  • Theory discovery (40-theory library)
  • Framework builder
  • Methodology chain
  • Socratic clarification gates
02

Collect

Generate an interview guide anchored to your exact framework concepts. Every question is tagged to the theory it probes.

  • 10–15 interview questions
  • Ethics confirmation gate
  • Each question tagged to framework
  • Export to Word
03

Analyse

Upload transcripts. Methea codes them against your framework, surfaces themes, and gives you a structured findings scaffold — you interpret, not the AI.

  • Deductive + inductive coding
  • Theme synthesis
  • Verbatim quote evidence
  • Student validates themes (Gate 3)

For supervisors & institutions

Built to complement your teaching,
not replace your student's thinking

🔒

Citation-verified only

Every theory in Methea's library is from a curated, verified set. The AI never invents authors, titles, or DOIs — OpenAlex verification runs on every citation before the student sees it.

🎓

Scaffolds, never ghostwrites

Methea exports annotated scaffolds with placeholder prompts, not polished prose. The student fills in the analysis, interpretation, and argument — that's non-negotiable.

🔗

Every step stays connected

Framework concepts drive interview questions drive coding categories drive findings. The thread from brief to analysis is visible and traceable — useful for supervision conversations.
