Frequently asked questions
What does the Target Participant Definer calculate?
Translates the research question into relevant participant attributes, behaviors, contexts, and exclusions. The result uses only the evidence and assumptions entered in the form.
Is the result statistically conclusive?
No. It is a planning estimate or research-quality signal. Use appropriate statistical analysis when inference is required.
How should participant data be handled?
Collect only necessary information, obtain informed consent, restrict access, and follow applicable privacy and research policies.
Can this replace an experienced researcher?
No. It structures a focused decision, but sensitive, high-risk, or complex studies still need qualified review.
