Study Plan Feasibility Agent

Produce a study plan that answers the research questions within the real deadline and budget.

Study Plan Feasibility Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A study plan often promises more than the time or budget allows. This agent starts from the research questions and drafts a method and sample size. It then estimates recruiting time, session hours, analysis days and incentive cost, and compares the total with your deadline and budget. If the plan is too big, it adjusts the scope: fewer participants, a shorter session, or a remote method. After every change it recalculates the whole plan to confirm the questions are still answered. You approve the plan before it is shared. Edge case: the study needs eight rare-role participants, and the agent shows recruiting would take 5 weeks and proposes a mixed sample.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It starts from the best method and shrinks scope until time and budget fit, never dropping a research question without approval.

  • Reduce recruiting scope before cutting analysis time
  • Never drop a research question without approval
  • Add a 15% time buffer for no-shows (default)
  • Rare-role recruits are estimated by past lead times

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Deadline and budget
  • Time buffer (default 15%)
  • Methods allowed
  • Incentive rate
  • Hours per interview analysis (default 3)

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • The final plan
  • Any dropped research question

Hard limits

  • Never commits budget
  • States all estimates as estimates
  • Never drops a question silently

It stops when

  • Done: plan fits and answers every question
  • Stop: no fit; researcher decides to change deadline or questions

An example run

What happensA study of 12 interviews and a diary phase needed 7 weeks and $6,400. The deadline was 5 weeks and the budget $4,500. The agent cut the diary phase, then the check showed one question about long-term habits was unanswered. It restored a 3-day mini diary with 6 people. The plan then fit at 4.8 weeks and $4,300. The researcher approved it.
