Qualitative Codebook Generator — illustrative example

INPUT
Research question: what blocks first-time setup? Excerpts: P1 "I did not know what workspace meant." P2 "The guide never said where to upload the file."

RESULT
Code: terminology confusion
Include: uncertainty about a term's meaning.
Exclude: knowing the term but not finding a control.
Example: P1, "I did not know what workspace meant."

Code: missing instruction
Include: an absent procedural step.
Exclude: a supplied step that the participant misunderstood.
Example: P2, "The guide never said where to upload the file."
Pilot these boundaries on further excerpts before full coding.

REVIEW
A codebook should define when a label applies and when it does not. Use sample excerpts to make coding decisions more consistent.

This is a teaching example, not a live execution record.
