Resumen	Multiple case-based grounded theory is a qualitative research design that embeds grounded theory's inductive coding logic inside a structured multiple-case framework. Rather than generating theory from a single site or interview pool, researchers iteratively collect and analyze data across two or more purposefully selected cases, using constant comparison both within and across cases until theoretical saturation is reached. The result is a substantive theory grounded in rich, cross-site empirical evidence.	Thematic Analysis (TA) is a qualitative research methodology for identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) in qualitative data. Developed systematically by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke (2006), TA is flexible and accessible, applicable across diverse theoretical frameworks and data types, making it one of the most widely used qualitative methods in psychology, health research, and social sciences.
