Samenvatting	Equal-weight case-focused mixed methods is a research design that investigates a bounded case — a person, program, organization, or event — using qualitative and quantitative strands that are treated as equally important. Neither strand is subordinate; both contribute with the same priority to the final interpretation of the case. Data are collected and analyzed separately, then integrated at the interpretation stage to produce a richer, more complete understanding of the case than either approach could yield alone.	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.
