Collaboration
Second-researcher review
Agree, disagree, or comment on another researcher's current coding decision.
Implemented task
Public task
Open a review item or select uncoded evidence.
Expected outcome: A human-authored or human-reviewed evidence decision is persisted with exact revision history.
Declared product contract
Inputs and task boundary
Inputs
- A current coding decision authored by another researcher
Input constraints
- A reviewer cannot use self-review to satisfy independent confirmation.
User actions
- Open a coding decision in the review workspace.
- Inspect the exact evidence and current decision.
- Agree, disagree, or leave a visible comment.
Outputs
- A durable second-researcher stance that does not silently replace the coding decision.
Decision boundary
Where it fits
- Teams that need visible spot-checking or a second opinion on current coding.
Outside the boundary
Where it does not fit
- Blind independent coding before submission.
Verification
Product proof
journey

- Verified
- Review due
- Expires
- All five locator kinds, overlap, multiple codes, and exact evidence return are covered.
- Codebook, memo, history, research connections, and withdrawal child journeys pass.
- Every child artifact is hashed and rerun from a fresh database.
Failure boundary: The proof covers the completed M2 kernel, not M3 cases, matrices, or later collaboration rounds.
OpenVerbatim is an open-source (Apache-2.0) qualitative data analysis platform for coding and analyzing interview transcripts. AI-suggested codes stay marked as suggestions until a human reviewer confirms or rejects them, and every decision is kept in an audit trail. The full feature set is available when self-hosted; there is no paid feature wall.
