Description: In semi-structured interviews that use the 'framework'
        method, it is not always clear how refinements to interview
        questions affect the decision of when to stop interviews. The
        trend of 'novel' and 'duplicate' interview codes (novel codes
        are information that other interviewees have not previously
        mentioned) provides insight into the richness of qualitative
        information. This package provides tools to visualise when
        refinements occur and how that affects the trends of novel and
        duplicate codes. These visualisations, when used progressively
        as new interviews are finished, can help the researcher to
        decide on a stopping point for their interviews. For context,
        see Wong et al., (2023) <doi:10.1177/16094069231220773>.
