Tiivistelmä	The Constant Comparative Method (CCM) is a systematic qualitative analysis procedure in which every newly coded incident is immediately compared with all previously coded incidents in the same category. Introduced by Glaser and Strauss in their 1967 grounded theory framework, CCM drives theory development by cycling continuously between data collection and analysis, progressively refining categories until theoretical saturation is reached. Though closely associated with grounded theory, the method has been widely adopted as a stand-alone analytic strategy across qualitative traditions.	Phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that investigates how participants live through and make sense of a specific experience. Rooted in the philosophy of Edmund Husserl and extended by Martin Heidegger, it aims to reveal the essential structures of lived experience rather than to measure or predict outcomes. The two most widely applied variants are Husserl's transcendental phenomenology, which seeks universal essences, and Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology, which emphasises interpretation within context.
