I have interview transcripts to share with an external collaborator by tomorrow but I must redact names and locations first. I’m worried I’ll miss indirect identifiers or damage analytic cues researchers need. Diagnose whether to do blanket redaction of names and relegate contextual notes to a separate key, list the specific identifiers I must remove, and give the quickest defensible redaction sequence I can complete tonight.
