Human-in-the-Loop Validation Practice
Interactive Quality Assurance Training for AI-Coded Qualitative Data
M&E Professional Development📋 How This Works
- Review the thematic codebook in the sidebar
- Generate a 15% random sample from 200 interview excerpts
- Validate 5 representative items by comparing AI codes with your judgment
- Review agreement metrics and error rates
- Apply the 10-20% rule to make a quality assurance decision
📊 Step 1: Generate Sample
Our dataset contains 200 interview excerpts about community trust in health services. Generate a 15% random sample (30 items) to begin your validation practice.

0% Percent Agreement
0% Error Rate
📊 Understanding Your Results
Percent Agreement shows how often you and the AI assigned the same code. Error Rate is the inverse (100% - agreement). These metrics guide your quality assurance decision.
🎯 Step 4: Apply 10-20% Rule
Based on your error rate, select the appropriate action:
The 10-20% rule provides a systematic approach to quality assurance decisions. Choose the option that matches your error rate findings.
✅ Accept AI Codes (Minor Corrections)
When: Error rate < 5%
Action: Accept AI codes with minor manual corrections only
Action: Accept AI codes with minor manual corrections only
⚠️ Expand Sample (Validate More)
When: Error rate 5-10%
Action: Expand sample to 60 items (20%) for more comprehensive validation
Action: Expand sample to 60 items (20%) for more comprehensive validation
❌ Full Manual Review Required
When: Error rate > 10%
Action: AI codes unreliable - conduct complete manual review
Action: AI codes unreliable - conduct complete manual review
