aim-and-hypothesis-designer

separate

Designs primary aims, secondary aims, and testable hypotheses from broad biomedical research ideas. Use this skill when a user needs to convert a loose study idea into a tighter protocol-framing structure with clear aim hierarchy, hypothesis discipline, and separation between hypothesis-driven and exploratory components. Always keep aims answerable, non-overlapping, and aligned to the intended evidence type and study scope.

When to use

• convert loose study ideas into tighter protocol-framing structure
• turn broad research ideas into specific aims
• separate primary study question from supporting questions
• distinguish confirmatory aims from exploratory analyses
• write testable hypotheses
• prevent aim sprawl
• build protocol-framing layer for study design and analysis planning

When not to use

• writing patient-specific medical advice or treatment plans
• fabricating literature support, hypotheses, feasibility claims, or validation status
• pretending that a full protocol, SAP, or grant narrative has been completed
• presenting speculative ambitions as already testable without stating missing dependencies
• generating a long aim list without hierarchy
• confusing a research topic with a study aim
• writing decorative hypotheses that cannot be tested
• hiding major feasibility dependencies
