The PRECIS-2 tool: designing trials that are fit for purpose
Why is this work in the frame?
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.
Machine scores (provisional)
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Abstract
This paper presents PRECIS-2-a validated, improved version of the tool-together with guidance for how to use it PRECIS-2 has nine domains including three new ones (recruitment, setting, and organisation), each scored on a 5-point Likert continuum (from 1=very explanatory "ideal conditions" to 5=very pragmatic "usual care conditions") so that trialists, clinicians, and policymakers can more easily consider whether design decisions match their intended purpose on 2 August
