Resum	Sequential case-focused mixed methods design combines the depth of case study methodology with the phased data-collection logic of sequential mixed methods. Quantitative and qualitative data are gathered in distinct, ordered phases — either QUAN then QUAL or QUAL then QUAN — and both strands are anchored within one or more bounded cases. The design is suited to research questions that require understanding how and why phenomena unfold within specific real-world contexts.	The exploratory sequential mixed methods design is a two-phase research framework in which a qualitative phase is conducted first to explore a poorly understood phenomenon, and the findings then inform a subsequent quantitative phase — typically to develop and test a survey instrument, measure a theory, or generalize qualitative insights to a larger population. The qualitative strand guides what is measured; the quantitative strand tests or extends those findings at scale.
