Sintesi	An embedded exploratory sequential mixed methods design opens with a qualitative phase that explores an understudied phenomenon, then embeds a secondary quantitative strand within or alongside that primary qualitative work. The qualitative findings guide what is measured quantitatively, while the embedded quantitative data provide additional scope or precision without displacing the qualitative logic driving the study.	The exploratory sequential mixed methods design is a two-phase research framework in which a qualitative phase is conducted first to explore a poorly understood phenomenon, and the findings then inform a subsequent quantitative phase — typically to develop and test a survey instrument, measure a theory, or generalize qualitative insights to a larger population. The qualitative strand guides what is measured; the quantitative strand tests or extends those findings at scale.
