Current grounded theory guidelines in software engineering do not cover the reporting process.
“However, this guidance does not extend to reporting GT studies.”
From Grounded theory in software engineering research: a critical review and guidelines (2016) · cites this paper as [17]
The Methodology section (p. 4) says grounded theory has established guidelines for conducting inductive research. It does not say whether those guidelines cover reporting grounded theory studies; searches for reporting guidance found no passage addressing that point. (LLM, conf=0.70)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
