A

Is there anything else?
A
9:28Andrew BoothGUEST
I mean, I think one of the key things from the contributions on realist searching that I did with colleagues in Leeds and Exeter, that we tried to break the search process down into a number of different stages with different purposes.

9:43Andrew BoothGUEST
And so again, I think it's very important to not think of these as solutions for all the requirements of the realist, but to think of what tools do you need for each stage.
A
9:57Andrew BoothGUEST
So yes, that initial exploration that we talked about, program theory, surfacing that, then these tools that I've already mentioned can be useful.
A
10:06Andrew BoothGUEST
Later on, when it comes to theory testing, then you find that, well, two main characteristics.
