Concurrent Exploratory Sequential Mixed Methods
Concurrent exploratory sequential mixed methods design is an advanced mixed methods configuration that combines two timing structures: a concurrent (simultaneous) data-collection phase alongside an exploratory sequential strand, in which early qualitative findings inform the development or refinement of a quantitative component. This hybrid is used when a study needs both real-time integration of qualitative and quantitative data and an instrument-building or theory-testing phase driven by initial qualitative exploration.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
