Tiivistelmä	Multiple case-based reflexive thematic analysis integrates Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis (RTA) with a multiple case study framework. Qualitative data are collected from two or more bounded cases, RTA is applied within each case to generate case-specific themes, and the themes are then compared and synthesised across cases. The approach preserves the depth and interpretive richness of RTA while enabling cross-case pattern recognition that single-case designs cannot provide.	Case study research is a qualitative research design that investigates a specific phenomenon, individual, group, organisation, or event in depth within its real-world context. Systematised by Robert K. Yin in 1984, it supports single-case and multiple-case designs and draws on multiple data sources — interviews, observation, documents, and artefacts — to build a rich, contextualised account of a bounded unit.
