Embedded Multilevel Mixed Methods
Embedded multilevel mixed methods design nests a secondary qualitative (or quantitative) strand within a primary study that spans hierarchically organized levels — such as students within classrooms, employees within organizations, or patients within clinics. The dominant strand addresses the research question at the structural level while the embedded component enriches understanding at a different level of the hierarchy, producing complementary insights that neither strand could yield alone.

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.
