Schwerpunkt auf quantitativer Analyseebene mit qualitativer Unterfütterung
Die Nutzer haben während eines Website-Tests mit dem XX® die Möglichkeit, neben der Beantwortung von geschlossenen Fragen, auch offene Kommentare und Anmerkungen zu einzelnen Eigenschaften der Website abzugeben. Auf diese Weise wird ergänzend zu der primär quantitativen Analyseebene eine qualitative Unterfütterung der numerischen Kennwerte möglich. Die quantitativen Kennwerte des XX® werden dadurch greifbarer gemacht, und nicht selten können konkrete Verbesserungsideen generiert werden.

how I understand it.
The numerischen Kennwerte are obtained from the geschlossenen Fragen (those with yes/no answers), and the open answers/remarks help 'explain' these Kennwerte.
I think that might be the meaning, but there might be a better term.

Comment: "Thanks everyone. I used substantiation in this case but was torn between this one and JM Simon's reinforcement."
