Participant quote
“I keep a separate list because I’m not sure the handover is complete.”
Observation
The participant described checking work outside the main system.
Interpretation to test
The extra list may signal uncertainty about completion. One interview does not establish how common this is.
Next question
Ask the participant to walk through the last handover and show what they checked.

Ask one useful question.

Separate direct quotes from interpretations and suggest questions for the next interview.

Ask in Note Chat. Check the sources before using the answer.

Put it to work.

Replay one quote in context before using it. Note where your interpretation goes beyond what the participant actually said.

Aplomo supports interview review. It is not a full research repository, coding system, or substitute for methodological judgment. Cross-note answers may omit context; inspect the cited notes.

Common questions

What should a research interview note preserve?

Preserve direct quotes, observed or reported behavior, the interview context, your interpretation, and open questions. Keep evidence from one participant distinct from claims about a wider audience.

Can I ask questions across interviews?

Aplomo supports questions across your notes. Review the cited notes and original recordings; an AI answer is a starting point for analysis, not evidence that every interview has been exhaustively compared.
