Priority Recommendations

1. Qualitative Interviews (Educators): High-value, low-risk addition
2. SME Cross-Validation: Near-essential for credibility

4. Describe a "eureka moment" enabled by the swarm visualization

Analysis Plan

• Thematic Coding: NVivo software with 2 independent coders (κ > 0.8)
• Cognitive Mapping: Identify alignment with dual-process theory
• Ethical Compliance: Anonymize data and add qualitative clause to IRB
