CollabCoder is a lower-barrier, rigorous workflow for inductive collaborative qualitative analysis. The workflow consists of three key stages:

• Independent Open Coding, facilitated by on-demand code suggestions from LLMs, producing initial codes;
• Iterative Discussion, focusing on conflict mediation within the coding team, producing a list of agreed-upon code decisions;
• Codebook Development, where code groups may be formed through LLM-generated suggestions, based on the list of decided codes in the previous phase.
