Muhtasari	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.	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.
