Assess whether pilot uncovered major practical roadblocks for full‑scale execution.

In reply to - Gregory Adams posted an update

Question

Pilot experiments deliver preliminary signals. Positive pilot results do not guarantee full‑study success, while negative pilots may come from limited sample size. What […]

Notice missing description of random seeds, data splits and pre‑processing workflows.

In reply to - Ping Lu posted an update

Method Help

When you act as reviewer for computational papers, verifying reproducibility is important but time‑consuming. Without running full code locally you still can assess […]
