Methodology Match
Build Your Research DNA

Six quick calls. Six genes locked into your strand. By the end you'll have a complete methodology profile for your dissertation β€” the philosophy, approach, method, strategy, timeframe and technique that actually fit how you think and what you're researching. No right answers, just your best-fit sequence.

Philosophy
Approach to theory
Methodological choice
Strategy
Time horizon
Techniques

Answer instinctively β€” go with whichever option(s) sound most like you and your research question, not what you think a supervisor wants to hear. Pick just one or several per round if you're torn, then lock it in. Replay as many times as you like to compare different profiles.

⚠️ Before you play: this only makes sense once you've already done your background reading and have a working research question β€” it can't teach you the methods themselves. Treat your result as a starting point for conversation, not a final decision, and always confirm your choice of methodology with your supervisor before committing to it.
