Equal-weight case-focused mixed methods
Equal-weight case-focused mixed methods is a research design that investigates a bounded case — a person, program, organization, or event — using qualitative and quantitative strands that are treated as equally important. Neither strand is subordinate; both contribute with the same priority to the final interpretation of the case. Data are collected and analyzed separately, then integrated at the interpretation stage to produce a richer, more complete understanding of the case than either approach 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.
