Coded aggregates
A coded summary is a structured description written by the coder. It is never a quoted post.

Provenance mix
Where the submissions came from. Consent basis is mandatory on every row.
| Source type | Submissions | Consent model |
|---|---|---|
| Voluntary submission | 50 | Submitter affirmed voluntary, de-identified submission and consented to aggregate use. |
| Structured survey | 52 | Submitter affirmed voluntary, de-identified submission and consented to aggregate use. |
| Consented interview | 46 | Submitter affirmed voluntary, de-identified submission and consented to aggregate use. |
| Authorized researcher coding | 49 | Submitter affirmed voluntary, de-identified submission and consented to aggregate use. |
| Public, consented dataset | 50 | Public dataset used with documented consent from the publishing body. |
What this module will not do: scrape social platforms, reproduce private group posts, store employer names alongside complaints, or publish a location more precise than region. A researcher coding public or consented material must record the consent basis on the row before it can be saved.
