Explanation

The products of grounded theory are concepts, hypotheses and the attributes of a category.

Concepts are the building blocks abstracted from the coded data.

Hypotheses emerge as propositions that link those concepts.

Attributes describe the properties and dimensions of each category.

Experimental framework belongs to quantitative design, not grounded theory.

Theoretical dilution is not a recognised product of the method.
