    The article mentions the importance of having a diverse group of people running the study, but more specifically you need multiple people coding or tagging the data independently, and then you need to run analysis on inter-coder reliability to measure the degree to which those independent coders' judgments agree with each other.

    You cannot reliably quantify qualitative data without assessing inter-coder reliability.
