what is framework analysis:
when the data is charted and sorted in accordance with key issues and themes.
better with specific questions, and limited frame

during the analysis
what is embedded?
QUAM (qual) or QUAL (quan)
concurrent or sequential, either data is dominant.
when is the data merged in embedded?
one dataset is embedded within the other.
what is explanatory?
Quan-qual
sequential
quan usually dominant.
when is the data merged in explanatory?
qual data set builds upon the QUAN
what is exploratory?
qual- quan
sequential
usually qual dominant.
when is the data merged in exploratory?
quan data set build upon the qual
