The rules of Q-analysis

This is the third in a series of three papers in which the methodological status of Q-analysis is investigated. The methodological rules abstracted in the previous papers are brought together, and the possibility of them being built into an expert system is discussed. A preliminary specification for an expert Q-analysis system is given. It is concluded that Q-analysis is indeed sufficiently replicable and procedural to be called a methodology. This completes the thought experiment set up in the first paper of the series.
