Podsumowanie	Mixed methods meta-inference is the overarching conclusion drawn at the end of a mixed methods study by systematically combining and integrating the separate inferences produced by the quantitative and qualitative strands. It represents the highest-level interpretive act in mixed methods research: moving beyond strand-specific findings to produce a unified, coherent understanding of the research problem that neither strand could yield alone.	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.
