Scale Host Insights: Qualitative Analysis of Homestays
Evidano is an AI-powered qualitative data analysis platform that provides automated transcription, PII redaction, codebook management, AI-assisted coding suggestions, cross-segment reporting, and reproducible exports. If you plan a qualitative analysis of homestay hosting, this post shows how to turn the PLOS study protocol “Why do Canadians host refugees? ” (published July 13, 2026) into a reproducible, secure AI-enabled research workflow. We break down the study’s 36-month sequential explanatory mixed-methods design (national survey n≥200; interviews n=20–25; co-design sessions n=20–25), point to analysis checkpoints (structural equation modeling, thematic coding, group concept mapping), and map where Evidano accelerates each step, from transcription and PII-safe ingestion to thematic, frequency, and cross-segment reports. Read on for a short checklist you can use to pilot similar mixed-methods work in 2–4 weeks of setup time.
