Methea sharpens your research question with Socratic gates, then builds the framework and methodology around it — so your research survives interrogation, before two years are sunk into the wrong question. You bring the thinking. Methea asks the right questions.

Based on your brief
Your question asks how policies get translated — do you want to interpret the meaning, or trace the changes over time?
Meaning & logic
→ interpretive methods · discourse analysis
Trace the changes
→ historical-comparative · document analysis
Both mechanisms and meaning
→ mixed design · documents + elite interviews
Methea surfaces the question. You decide — and stay the author.
The Socratic gate
Methea never hands you an answer. At key moments it asks a sharp question drawn from your own brief — with reasoned options, each tied to a method. You choose, and you stay the author. This is the engine competitors can't copy.

This distinction is what makes Methea a tool universities recommend instead of ban.
How it works
Every block builds on what came before. Change a theory and your methodology updates. Change a framework concept and your interview questions update.
Upload your brief. Methea suggests theories, builds your conceptual framework, and derives a complete methodology chain — each step with a plain-English "why."
Generate an interview guide anchored to your exact framework concepts. Every question is tagged to the theory it probes.
Upload transcripts. Methea codes them against your framework, surfaces themes, and gives you a structured findings scaffold — you interpret, not the AI.
For supervisors & institutions
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.
Methea exports annotated scaffolds with placeholder prompts, not polished prose. The student fills in the analysis, interpretation, and argument — that's non-negotiable.
Framework concepts drive interview questions drive coding categories drive findings. The thread from brief to analysis is visible and traceable — useful for supervision conversations.
