Does your method
actually fit your questions?

A methodologist's read of your research design: what it is, whether it suits your research questions, how thoroughly it has been applied, and whether your conclusions match your analysis.

Questions

Common questions.

How much text does it need?

At least 800 words. Below that there is not enough text to classify the methodology reliably, and every later stage of the report depends on that classification.

Can I run it on my methodology chapter alone?

Yes — that is the common case. A methodology chapter is typically 3,000 to 6,000 words, which is comfortably enough.

What file formats can I upload?

PDF, DOCX or TXT, up to 50 MB.

How long does it take?

Most reports are generated within minutes of payment being confirmed. Longer documents take longer.

What happens to my document?

It is used only to produce your report and is deleted once the report has been generated. Reports are delivered to the email address you verified at the start.
