Tiivistelmä	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.	The qualitative-dominant explanatory sequential mixed methods design follows a two-phase sequential structure — quantitative data collected first, qualitative data collected second — while assigning dominant analytical weight to the qualitative strand. The quantitative phase surfaces statistical patterns that require deeper explanation; the qualitative phase, which carries greater interpretive authority in this variant, provides the rich contextual understanding that the numbers alone cannot supply.
