সারসংক্ষেপ	Evaluation-oriented mixed methods meta-inference is a rigorous concluding process in program evaluation research in which the researcher integrates inferences drawn from both quantitative and qualitative strands of a mixed methods study into a single, coherent, higher-order conclusion. This meta-inference is explicitly anchored to evaluation questions — such as program worth, merit, or impact — and is judged by dual quality criteria: inferential consistency and interpretive consistency across strands.	The concurrent triangulation mixed methods design collects quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously, analyzes each strand independently, and then merges the results to assess whether the two data sources corroborate one another. Often called the convergent parallel design, it is one of the foundational configurations in mixed methods research and is chosen specifically when the researcher wants to cross-validate or triangulate findings from two distinct methodological traditions.
