# Find an initial diffusion tensor estimate (you can do this in relax by only using model m0). This requires all non-mobile residues and side chain spins to be excluded, and this can be problematic. See the [d'Auvergne and Gooley, 2008b] paper for an example of the catastrophic failure that this initial estimate can result in. Or the bacteriorhodopsin fragment of [Orekhov et al., 1999] where this complete failure was earlier demonstrated.
# Optimise all of the model-free models from m0 to m9. This requires high precision optimisation, for a comparison of all the softwares see the [d'Auvergne and Gooley, 2008a] model-free optimisation paper. Only relax and Dasha implement the full range of model-free models, though the models m6, m7, and m8 cannot be used if only single field strength data is used (m6 is the original 2-time scale motion model of [Clore et al., 1990]).
# Eliminate failed models (this is only available in relax). See the [d'Auvergne and Gooley, 2006] model elimination paper.
# Select the best model-free model for each spin system. This again requires precision modern techniques, with the best being AIC model select (see the [d'Auvergne and Gooley, 2003] model-free model selection paper). If you are unaware that ANOVA statistics for model selection (hypothesis testing via chi-squared, F- and t-tests) was abandoned by the field of model selection over 100 years ago (a field which makes the NMR field look very, very small), then you should really look at that paper.
