Data exploration is an important aspect of the workflow of mixed-methods researchers, who conduct both qualitative and quantitative analysis. However, there currently exists few tools that adequately support both types of analysis simultaneously, forcing researchers to context-switch between different tools and increasing their mental burden when integrating the results. To address this gap, we propose a unified environment that facilitates mixed-methods analysis in a computational notebook-based settings. We conduct a scenario study with three HCI mixed-methods researchers to gather feedback on our design concept and to understand our users' needs and requirements.
