The idea

Appraising a qualitative study means sifting it so that what is good and useful remains — deciding whether its useful elements outweigh its shortcomings.

In practice

A study with a limited sample whose account of an experience is still the best available.

Where people slip

There are no perfect studies here either. The task is weighing, not passing.
