The Institutional Grammar (IG) is a widely used method for analyzing institutional design, focusing on both the structure and meaning of institutions. While both rules-in-use and rules-in-form are essential for governing common-pool resources and addressing social dilemmas, the IG has primarily been developed to analyze rules-in-form. The complexities of rules-in-use, along with challenges in collecting them, limit the direct application of existing coding protocols designed for rules-in-form. One such challenge is the potential presence of inconsistencies between institutional statements provided by research participants. In this work, we propose a method to address both intra- and inter-participant inconsistencies. We demonstrate how to analyze these discrepancies at both the institutional statement and grammatical element levels, offering strategies for incorporating them into the analysis.
