Phenomenology as....

"Phenomenology as descriptive theory of essence of pure experiences."
Data: Pure Experiences
(It is itself Products of a Method. Data: Experiences in Natural Attitude, Process: Reduction;)
Process: Reflection, Description, Eidetic Variation
Product: Theory of Essence of Pure Experiences. Or, Conceptual Knowledge of the Mind (Or the Mind-Related World)

Quality Control (as Part of the Method):
Evidence Principle, of which examples are:
Test of Absurdity (in extreme conditions)
Test of Distinctness and Clarity (in not so extreme conditions, which can get fuzzy)
