Think ahead about how you will handle the data you will collect.
Come up with a plan to summarize all your data across methods in a way that answers your main evaluation questions.
Decide who will be involved in analyzing the data.
Anticipate your timelines for data analysis, building in flexibility that leaves time for reflection.
Assess the soundness of your analysis plan with your steering committee.
