The flowchart presents a six-step vertical data analysis process progressing from data compilation to framework development. It starts with compiling data from in-depth interviews and categorizing it into codes to form first- and second-order codes. These codes are then grouped into themes and aggregate dimensions aligned with the employed theory. The final step develops a framework that establishes relationships among aggregate dimensions and the theory.Process of developing aggregate dimension in the study. Source: Authors’ own work
