Playbook: Run a study from design to archive

Journey Steps

1. 1Step 1 — Power studies before collecting a single datapoint: start with "Estimate effect size from prior literature or pilot data honestly"
2. 2Step 2 — Design controls that actually isolate variables: start with "List confounders specific to THIS setup, not textbook generics"
3. 3Step 3 — Make computational results reproducible: start with "Pin environments: lockfiles plus container image recorded per result"
4. 4Step 4 — Keep lab notebooks worth citing: start with "Entry per session: goal, exact methods/versions, raw observations"
5. 5How it fits together: Preregistration and controls cost hours now and save the paper later.
