Sammendrag	Multiple case-based classic grounded theory (CGT) extends Glaser and Strauss's original inductive framework by grounding theory development simultaneously across two or more purposefully selected cases. Rather than studying a single site or participant group, the researcher treats each case as a distinct analytic unit while using the constant comparative method to draw cross-case theoretical insights. The goal is the same as in all classic GT: emergence of a substantive theory that explains the main concern of participants — but the multi-case structure broadens the conceptual base and supports more robust theoretical abstraction.	Thematic Analysis (TA) is a qualitative research methodology for identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) in qualitative data. Developed systematically by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke (2006), TA is flexible and accessible, applicable across diverse theoretical frameworks and data types, making it one of the most widely used qualitative methods in psychology, health research, and social sciences.
