Shifting the Research Paradigm
Standard research models often treat methodology as a means to an end. We believe the tool is as important as the discovery.
Research Question
Methodological Design
CATER Output Validated Scales & Open Tools
Implementation
Dissemination of Oringinal Findings
Why this matters
By capturing the “Methodological Design” phase, CATER prevents the cycle of redundant work and “messy constructs.” We provide a home for the instruments and frameworks that usually stay hidden in appendices.
