Tiivistelmä	Quantitative-dominant case-focused mixed methods organizes a study around one or more clearly bounded cases while assigning primary weight and inferential authority to quantitative data. Qualitative data are collected within the same case boundaries and serve an augmenting, explanatory, or contextual role rather than an equal one. The design is ideal when a case (a school, organization, community, or patient cohort) is the unit of analysis and the core research questions require measurable outcomes that qualitative evidence then helps interpret or explain.	Case-focused mixed methods design integrates qualitative and quantitative data-collection strands within one or more bounded cases — specific settings, organizations, programs, or individuals. The design harnesses the contextual depth of case study methodology alongside the corroborative or complementary power of mixed data types, enabling researchers to build rich, multi-faceted accounts of complex phenomena situated in real-world contexts.
