Transparency: Qualitative research should be designed with full
knowledge of the contribution that each design element makes to the final
results. This refers to the clarity of the process and the ability to convey
specific factors that impact the process.

Usefulness: A useful qualitative research design results in new
insights and hypotheses for further investigation. This refers to the ability
to move the research pursuit forward, to take the researcher to the next
step.

Analyzability: A qualitative research design that maximizes
credibility, transparency, and usefulness will also maximize the researcher’s
ability to provide a meaningful, accurate analysis. This refers to the ability
to analyze outcomes with a high degree of confidence.

Credibility: A design goal of qualitative research is to provide
results that are reasonably known to be true within the particular parameters
and limitations of the qualitative method. Question-answer validity is
one technique that fosters credibility. This refers to the trustworthiness of
the outcomes.
