Design the instruments – questionnaires (choose 1 type at least) / interviews (a certain type) / focus groups / triangulation (using different instruments at the same time) / checklists
Why did I use this type of instrument? I shouldn’t compare to those which I didn’t use, just focus on my instruments I used
