The flow diagram begins with Quantitative Survey, with maintenance practices, digital readiness, barriers and benefits. It leads to Explanatory Expert Interviews, with feasibility, workflows, and implementation constraints. This leads to Empirical Drivers, with organisational readiness, technical and operational constraints, and validation themes. A connecting line then leads down to Framework Development, with layered P d M architecture. The sequence continues to Expert-Based Validation, with design coherence and feasibility, and ends at Implementation Pathway, with phased adoption.Explanatory sequential research design and framework development process
