सारांश	Qualitative-dominant mixed methods meta-inference is the overarching inference-drawing process in a mixed methods study where qualitative findings carry primary explanatory weight. Meta-inference — the integrated conclusion drawn by combining qualitative and quantitative strands — is anchored to and interpreted through the richer, theoretically foregrounded qualitative findings, with quantitative results serving a supplementary, corroborating, or contextualizing function.	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.
