One mixed-data workspace
Use the same coding and memo workflow across text, spreadsheets, PDF, image, audio, and video.
Built for qualitative and mixed-methods research
Do more than store data.
Make sense of it.
Code text, PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, images, audio, and video in one workspace. Compare evidence, uncover patterns, and build findings through a transparent chain of analysis.

Participant interview · 00:04:18
At first I had reservations about the system. Once I could reach the support team, the process became much clearer.
The main issue was that internet access was not equally reliable everywhere, so I missed some meetings.
Over time we redistributed responsibilities and changed how the team worked.
Research memo: Trust changes alongside the experience of access.

Researcher focused
Assistance that strengthens your analysis without replacing it
Move from mixed research materials to evidence-linked findings in one transparent, researcher-controlled workflow.
Researcher-reviewed AI
Inspect, adjust, accept, or reject every provisional code and evidence anchor before it changes the project.
Question-organized comparison
Compare interview answers question by question and build a stable hierarchy of reusable subcodes.
Evidence-grounded Chat with Data
Ask across a document, selected documents, or an interview question and follow answers back to exact evidence.
Codebook intelligence
Audit coding, refine definitions, and develop hierarchical code suggestions while preserving researcher decisions.
Evidence-linked Results Builder
Connect selected evidence, analyses, figures, tables, and academic interpretation in an editable results draft.
Open project exchange
Move standards-based projects through QDPX while retaining QCA-specific work in compatible project notes.
Metadata-aware analysis
Examine patterns alongside participant and document characteristics without separating them from their evidence.
Independent language controls
Choose interface, source, and AI-writing languages independently to match multilingual research workflows.
Open project exchange
Moving from another QDA tool should not hold you back.
Use REFI-QDA Project Exchange to import or export code systems, sources, codings, and standard memos in .qdpx format.
- Standards-based project exchange
- Stable identities across repeated exports
