Resolve the decision behind the request.
A convenient calculator cannot choose a clinically meaningful effect, clustering adjustment or feasible follow-up allowance for you.
HOW THE WORK MOVES
Scope first. Traceable decisions throughout.
- Define the target parameter
- Choose precision or power framework
- Assess clustering, effect and attrition
- Review a sensitivity range
Professional delivery uses the existing canonical project and case workflow. Independent QA and release approval are distinct decisions; unresolved findings remain visible.

Methods, assumptions and boundaries
The existing proportion calculator is not a power calculation for every design. Do not infer power from an observed p-value.
Source values are preserved; changes require documented reasons. Analysis needs a defined outcome, population, design and eligible records. Review may withhold an unsupported test or conclusion.
Read the RMA methodology →Start with context. Transfer data privately.
The public fit check asks for objectives, stage and constraints. Do not paste participant names, health records, passwords or connector tokens. Access, permitted data, retention and export/deletion arrangements are confirmed before private transfer.
Review data-handling boundaries →Is this a fit?
For researchers planning recruitment who can explain the intended decision, provide authorised evidence and accept transparent limitations.
Outside scope: fabricated data, guaranteed significance, thesis ghostwriting, clinical decision-making or claims of regulatory certification.
Before you start
What does the first enquiry commit me to?
Nothing is charged through the fit-check form. RMA reviews scope and confirms deliverables, exclusions, timing and price in writing.
Will I need a personal or organisation workspace?
Your project uses the existing Personal Research Workspace and the shared RMA account system. A professional service is linked to the canonical case; it does not create a separate portal.
Can you guarantee an outcome or approval?
No. Findings depend on the source data and design. QA checks the agreed evidence and cannot guarantee significance, graduation, grant funding or publication.
