Define the case
An organisation, a department and a particular incident are different units. Select the unit that fits the question and define the relevant period. Clear boundaries prevent unexplained shifts from discussion of a person to conclusions about an organisation. Explain what lies outside the case and which external conditions are needed to understand it.
Explain why this case was chosen
A case may matter because of a theoretical tension, a documented process or conditions that allow a specific question to be examined. It need not represent every case. Explain what it can illuminate and what limits that learning. Accessibility alone still needs an academic account of relevance to the question.
Choose a theoretical or qualitative foundation
A theoretical foundation uses scholarship and documented case materials. A qualitative foundation concerns interviews, observations or documents. These are the two method choices for this case study path. Numbers in a description do not automatically make the work quantitative, and interviews must not be described as conducted if they were not supplied.
Fit a purpose to one of two structures
Deliverable labels are case study, incident analysis, academic report, evaluation report, policy brief and consulting report. They describe purposes and emphases. Case study and incident analysis use the case-analysis structure; the four other deliverables use the academic-report structure. Evaluation needs explicit criteria; policy discussion needs alternatives. Both remain bounded by the materials and the academic assignment.
Separate description, explanation and recommendation
Description reports what sources record. Explanation uses concepts or supplied findings to make sense of it. Recommendations propose a direction based on that discussion. Make transitions between the three visible. When sources offer different accounts, acknowledge the difference rather than creating a confident sequence from disputed information.
Preserve limits of conclusions and materials
Explain what became clearer about the case and which questions remain open. In real-materials-without-results mode, an unanalysed qualitative foundation supports planning and a template; the service does not perform qualitative analysis. A qualitative case study can separately use simulated demonstration, with illustrative findings rather than actual participant data and explicit disclosure in the email and companion document. Even with supplied findings, conclusions about other settings need caution. Recommendations should reflect evidence without promising practical change or success.

Refine the topic and requirements
Provide assignment requirements and relevant materials. Review planning suggestions and edit them as needed.
Review the deliverables
Read the paper and accompanying report, check sources, and complete revisions and real data as required.
Documents included with eligible papers
Planning documents accompany eligible papers and are generated after the paper. They cannot be ordered separately. If generation of the accompanying document fails, the completed paper may be delivered without it.
The planning documents shown in this preview follow the dedicated registry mapping. Active delivery will be verified before publication.
Frequently asked questions
Can several cases be compared?
The question and scope need to define the units examined. Multiple cases do not create an additional structure option, and expansion needs to fit the instructions and available materials.
Do numbers in a report make it quantitative research?
No. The method follows the research question and how evidence was produced. The case study path described here supports a theoretical or qualitative foundation.
