I work with tools like Excel, SPSS, R, and Jamovi for survey data, and NVivo or manual coding for qualitative analysis. You donβt need to use any special software – Iβll adapt to whatever works best for your project.
Yes – this is one of my most requested services. I help teams make sense of open-text survey responses by identifying key themes, organizing comments, and highlighting illustrative quotes.
