About Stitchwork

Stitchwork is a qualitative analysis tool that helps researchers analyse interviews faster, without compromising on rigour.

Do you ever find yourself snowed under a mountain of interview data? And there’s a looming deadline, perhaps from a client, maybe from a design, engineering, or marketing team who needs the data ASAP to inform their work. Go too slow and you risk them moving ahead without you. Go too quickly and you compromise the quality of the work.

That’s where Stitchwork comes in.

Stitchwork uses AI to speed up the slow parts of analysis, freeing up your time to think deeply about the data. It’s built on top of established qualitative analysis methods; rather than jumping from raw data to conclusions, it builds themes step by step in collaboration with you. Navigate hundreds of quotes with ease, see the relationships between them, and build out robust and rigorous patterns in the data. No disappointingly shallow one-click automated clustering, no endless negotiating back and forth with AI chat when that theme still isn’t just right. Stitchwork is designed around giving you direct control of the analysis, like in the olden days, just much faster.

Who I am, and why I built this

My name is Jake McCann. I founded Stitchwork after spending over a decade running research interviews at organisations including The Economist, the Government Digital Service, and the National Health Service.

I always struggled to get the balance right between speed and rigour. Too often it meant late nights trying to pull together last-minute insights from tens of thousands of words of data. I was never satisfied with qualitative analysis tools that were too clunky to speed me up, or too shallow to help me with rigour. The dawn of AI-powered tools, in my view, unfortunately hasn’t changed this.

So I decided to build my own.

Who Stitchwork is for

Stitchwork is for people who analyse research interviews and need to develop thoughtful, well-supported findings within tight deadlines. That includes:

  • Freelance researchers analysing interviews for clients.
  • Researchers at small agencies working on client projects.
  • Researchers working in-house within larger organisations.
