Resumen	The qualitative-dominant mixed methods matrix is a design variant in which the researcher selects and positions a specific mixed methods design within a typological matrix — organized by timing (sequential vs. concurrent) and paradigm weighting — while assigning greater priority to the qualitative strand. Quantitative data play a supporting, supplementary role, and the final inferences are grounded primarily in qualitative findings.	Qualitative-priority mixed methods design is a mixed methods approach in which qualitative inquiry carries the greater weight — in terms of volume, analytical depth, and interpretive authority — while a supplementary quantitative strand provides supporting evidence. The design acknowledges that the phenomenon under study is best understood through meaning-making, lived experience, or social processes, with numbers used to corroborate or contextualize, not to dominate, the research story.
