Hi all

My experiment continues..

Now attached, fyi

1. HCS_MSC_Literature_2025_vs1.docx  The Claude AI Hierachcial Card Sorting analysis of 14 papers published in 2025 on the sue of MSC, found via my own Google Scholar search

2. HCS_MSC_Literature_2025_vs1 Graph.html and HCS_MSC_Literature_2025_vs1 Graph1_1.png After saving both in the same folder, clicking on the html file will open a web page in your browser, to show the tree structure seen on page 4 of the Word document

3. HCS_Prompt_v11.md.docx A Word document describing the prompt used by Claude to generate the analysis and graph

Please note that this HCS had significance defined as follows "Most significant in terms of the potential of the events in the papers, and papers themselves, for aiding the more informed and wider use of MSC as a technique, across knowledge domains, geographies, and social groups/populations"

There are obviously other options as "Most significant in terms of the impacts on peoples lives descibed by the MSC stories", "Most significant in terms of the operations of organisations working with those described in the  MSC stories",

If anyone wants help implementing this prompt (or versions of it) using their own data (MSC stories or otherwsise), let me know

fyi
