As there is not a single methodology for searching procedures, the methods contained quantitative methods like bibliometrics as well as qualitative approaches like workshops, expert interviews, internet and qualitative literature searches.

Section 2 looks at the potential value of using quantitative and qualitative approaches. Building on this, Section 3 proposes a taxonomy of methodological combinations at different levels of integration
Both quantitative and qualitative approaches can contribute to this exploration, as explained by Eerola and Miles 22,

and qualitative approaches could contribute to addressing the same problem. Further exploring synergies between FTA and strategic design could offer opportunities for more integrated use of methodologies. 7 3. 3.
