Classement des idées de solution. Entre toutes les idées éparses qui ont été émises, il faut donc trouver un lien, ou mieux établir un ordre. Pour cela, on cherchera à regrouper les idées qui relèvent du même concept : et ainsi on arrivera à des paquets de deux ou trois idées comparables. Puis, dans un deuxième temps, on cherchera à découvrir les ressemblances qui existent entre ces concepts; et, en procédant de la même façon que pour les idées, on fera des paquets de concepts. On créera ainsi autant de niveaux qu'il sera nécessaire pour qu'on arrive au concept dominant qui regroupera tous les autres et coïncidera avec l'objet de la recherche. [...] Pratiquement, un tel classement peut revêtir la forme d'un tableau à double entrée; souvent, on adoptera la forme plus souple de l'arbre conceptuel. 2, record 14, French, - construction%20d%27arbres%20conceptuels
